Sometimes I have to return to a really old branch when I depended on a ton of external libraries. Updating to the current branch removes the source files for those dependencies, but the artifacts are left there, as well as a few folders and such.
I would like to have a way to force a mercurial repo to be as if I had just cloned it from the remote (master) repository. I don’t want to just nuke my repo and re-clone it, because that forces me to download hundreds of MB from the remote server.
You can use the purge extension, or if you are on an UNIX-like system:
hg st -nu0 | xargs -0 rm.
