Question

working directory

Did a

hg commit (resulted in rev3)

Copied some directories inside … changed some files. Did

hg add  
hg commit (resulted in rev4 - tip)  

How to get back exactly to the state of rev3. hg update 3 will change the files to the state they were in rev3, but it will also leave all the copied directories inside. I want to get the working directory without the copied directories and files, which were added after rev3.

Answer 1

That doesn’t happen for me:

> hg init
> mkdir first
> jed first/foo.txt
> hg add
   adding first/foo.txt
> hg commit -m asd
> mkdir second
> jed second/foo.txt
> hg add
   adding second/foo.txt
> hg commit -m asd
> hg update 0

Now first exists, but second doesn’t…

Are you sure you added everything in the new directories before your commit?
