Purge extension

This extension is currently being distributed along with Mercurial.

Author: Marco Barisione

Overview

This extension purges all files and directories not being tracked by Mercurial in the current repository.

It'll remove unknown files and empty directories by default. With the --all option, it will also remove ignored files.

It keeps added files and (unmodified or modified) tracked files.

Configuration

Just add a new entry in the extensions section of the mercurial configuration file (hgrc):

[extensions]
purge =
#or, if purge.py not in the hgext dir:
#purge =/path/to/purge.py

Usage

To purge the repository contents:

hg purge

To list the files that would be removed by running the previous command use it with the --print option:

hg purge --print
