Hey, I’m using Mercurial. I just found out that there is a .hg folder in my home directory. I presume it is keeping track of all mercurial repositories I have lying around in my home directory. Is this true?
Also , I need to move the .hg folder to another directory. Can anyone guide me as to how to do this?
Thanks
Having a .hg/ in your home directory indicates that your entire home directory is under version control, which probably is not what you want. Mercurial does not “keep track” of multiple repositories.
To move a repository somewhere else, use “hg clone”.
