            Bug ID: 6034
           Summary: Provide better way to recover from a broken
                    repository.
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: default branch
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: feature
          Priority: wish
         Component: Mercurial
          Assignee: bugzilla at mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: 7895pulkit at gmail.com
                CC: mercurial-devel at mercurial-scm.org

Sometimes users break their repositories due to some power failures or some
other reasons and end up in a broken repository.

The way we suggest the fix right now is `hg clone -r
<last_rev_number_which_is_not_broken>`.

This has come up on IRC few times in last few weeks. I think it's worthwhile to
provide users some functionality where they can fix such cases.
