hg-rename - Man Page

rename files; equivalent of copy + remove

Synopsis

hg rename [OPTION]... SOURCE... DEST

Description

Mark dest as copies of sources; mark sources for deletion. If dest is a directory, copies are put in that directory. If dest is a file, there can only be one source.

By default, this command copies the contents of files as they exist in the working directory. If invoked with -A/--after, the operation is recorded, but no copying is performed.

To undo marking a destination file as renamed, use --forget. With that option, all given (positional) arguments are unmarked as renames. The destination file(s) will be left in place (still tracked). The source file(s) will not be restored. Note that hg rename --forget behaves the same way as hg copy --forget.

This command takes effect with the next commit by default.

Returns 0 on success, 1 if errors are encountered.
