Major changes between Mercurial 0.9.1 and 0.??:

New features:
 * merge now follows renames and copies

 * new branch and branches commands for managing named branches
 * push command accepts -r for pushing specified heads or named branches
 * proper storage of changelog and other metadata in UTF-8

 * date parsing is improved and log, update, and revert now accept --date ranges
 * additional command options for log, status, addremove

 * bundle can now use `-r` and `--base` removing the need of an base
 repository

 * new debuginstall command to check for common installation issues

New contributions and extensions:

   * support for quilt-style guards

   * qheader to display the patch header of particular patches, and `--summary` for qseries, qapplied,

   * combine patches with `qfold`
   * qrefresh supports pattern options to import only a subset of the changes into a patch, to help
   split changes into multiple patches

   of any hg command
 * hgk
   * browse a subset of the entire history with `--limit` and revision range arguments
   * shows revision numbers as well as node hashes
 * churn: graph lines of code changed per user over a range of history
 * patchbomb: generate inline attachments with `-a`

New hooks added:

Behaviour changes:

notes to self:

  • want to add the parent in dirstate (so that localrepo.changes doesn't report modified after a merge)
  • want to add the base in changegroup (so that full revision can be inserted)

IDEAS

  • Get rid of metadatas in manifest, put them in the filelog (like copies). It makes sense because each change to a file should be reflected at the filelog level.
  • add a delete entry in the filelog and add it to the manifest (that way we know when the head is removed, and 'hg log filename' will show the deletion)
