This patch slightly modifies the example by adding a "-f" option to the "rm" command. diff --git a/mercurial/help/config.txt b/mercurial/help/config.txt --- a/mercurial/help/config.txt +++ b/mercurial/help/config.txt @@ -276,7 +276,7 @@ will let you do ``hg echo foo`` to have ``foo`` printed in your terminal. A better example might be:: - purge = !$HG status --no-status --unknown -0 re: | xargs -0 rm + purge = !$HG status --no-status --unknown -0 re: | xargs -0 rm -f which will make ``hg purge`` delete all unknown files in the repository in the same manner as the purge extension. _______________________________________________ Mercurial-devel mailing list Mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org https://www.mercurial-scm.org/mailman/listinfo/mercurial-devel
