Bug ID: 3573

Assignee: bugzilla at selenic.com
Summary: Change revert extension from ".orig" to ".hgorig"
Severity: bug
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows
Reporter: brian.mathis+selenic at betteradmin.com
Hardware: PC
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 2.2.3
Component: Mercurial
Product: Mercurial
The ".orig" extension is commonly used for purposes other than hg. Hg should
not use this extension, especially since it clobbers these files without
warning.
Hg should use a program-specific extension which has less likelihood of
conflicting with other uses. Much like the "rpm" command uses ."rpmorig", hg
should adopt this approach by using the ".hgorig" extension.
