Trying to merge back from branch to main and close branch in Mercurial
I've got a named branch (same r开发者_如何转开发epository) that was created in order to to spike something. I've now decided that I want to move all the changesets created in the branch back into the main (default) and then close the branch.
I've tried a number of different things, including what was outlined in this post (How to repeatedly merge branches in Mercurial) but I just can't get it working :(
Can anyone provide any pointers?
Thanks.
Merge the feature branch into default
hg up default
hg merge feature-branch-name
hg ci -m 'merged feature-branch-name into default'
Close the branch you don't want to use anymore
hg up feature-branch-name
hg ci --close-branch -m 'close feature-branch-name branch'
hg up default
Note that the close command doesn't have any disruptive effects on the repository history
It flags your branch as closed so that it won't appear in hg branches
and hg heads
commands output
I've managed to solve my problem using the link I mentioned in my question. The steps described in the link had actually merged my changes across however I didn't realise as I was looking in the TortoiseHg UI and couldn't see the changes there. When I performed hg outgoing
via the command line it appears that the merge had worked correctly.
