hg export [OPTION]... [-o OUTFILESPEC] [-r] [REV]...
dump the header and diffs for one or more changesets
Print the changeset header and diffs for one or more revisions.
If no revision is given, the parent of the working directory is used.
The information shown in the changeset header is: author, date,
branch name (if non-default), changeset hash, parent(s) and commit
comment.
.. note::
export may generate unexpected diff output for merge
changesets, as it will compare the merge changeset against its
first parent only.
Output may be to a file, in which case the name of the file is
given using a format string. The formatting rules are as follows:
:``%%``: literal "%" character
:``%H``: changeset hash (40 hexadecimal digits)
:``%N``: number of patches being generated
:``%R``: changeset revision number
:``%b``: basename of the exporting repository
:``%h``: short-form changeset hash (12 hexadecimal digits)
:``%m``: first line of the commit message (only alphanumeric characters)
:``%n``: zero-padded sequence number, starting at 1
:``%r``: zero-padded changeset revision number
Without the -a/--text option, export will avoid generating diffs
of files it detects as binary. With -a, export will generate a
diff anyway, probably with undesirable results.
Use the -g/--git option to generate diffs in the git extended diff
format. See :hg:`help diffs` for more information.
With the --switch-parent option, the diff will be against the
second parent. It can be useful to review a merge.
.. container:: verbose
Examples:
- use export and import to transplant a bugfix to the current
branch::
hg export -r 9353 | hg import -
- export all the changesets between two revisions to a file with
rename information::
hg export --git -r 123:150 > changes.txt
- split outgoing changes into a series of patches with
descriptive names::
hg export -r "outgoing()" -o "%n-%m.patch"
Returns 0 on success.
