DESCRIPTION
| |
The master source tree for Plan 9 from User Space is maintained
using the source control system Mercurial as a substitute for
Plan 9’s replica(8) and dump file system.
The first argument to hg is a command, which determines the form
of the rest of the command line.
The clone command downloads a copy of the tree into the directory
plan9, which it will create. After hg clone, the other commands
listed should be run within the plan9 directory tree.
Unlike CVS, Mercurial downloads the entire revision history of
Plan 9 from User Space in addition to the current tree.
Hg pull incorporates changes from the master repository into the
local revision history. The −u flag applies these changes to the
current file tree.
Hg diff runs Unix’s diff(1) to compare the files in the local
tree with the corresponding files in the revision history. By
default it compares against the version that was most recently
incorporated into the local tree. The −r flag specifies an alternate
version to compare against. The special revision tip refers to
the most recent version on the server.
Hg serve starts an HTTP server serving information about the local
repository at the address http://localhost:8000/.
Hg view starts an interactive history viewer.
The Mercurial tree can be inspected on the web at http://code.swtch.com/plan9port/.
