hg import [OPTION]... PATCH...

aliases: patch

import an ordered set of patches

    Import a list of patches and commit them individually (unless --no-commit

    is specified).

    If there are outstanding changes in the working directory, import will

    abort unless given the -f/--force flag.

    You can import a patch straight from a mail message. Even patches as

    attachments work (to use the body part, it must have type text/plain or

    text/x-patch). From and Subject headers of email message are used as

    default committer and commit message. All text/plain body parts before

    first diff are added to commit message.

    If the imported patch was generated by hg export, user and description

    from patch override values from message headers and body. Values given on

    command line with -m/--message and -u/--user override these.

    If --exact is specified, import will set the working directory to the

    parent of each patch before applying it, and will abort if the resulting

    changeset has a different ID than the one recorded in the patch. This may

    happen due to character set problems or other deficiencies in the text

    patch format.

    With -s/--similarity, hg will attempt to discover renames and copies in

    the patch in the same way as 'addremove'.

    To read a patch from standard input, use "-" as the patch name. If a URL

    is specified, the patch will be downloaded from it. See 'hg help dates'

    for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.

options:

 -p --strip           directory strip option for patch. This has the same

                      meaning as the corresponding patch option (default: 1)

 -b --base            base path

 -f --force           skip check for outstanding uncommitted changes

    --no-commit       don't commit, just update the working directory

    --exact           apply patch to the nodes from which it was generated

    --import-branch   use any branch information in patch (implied by --exact)

 -m --message         use <text> as commit message

 -l --logfile         read commit message from <file>

 -d --date            record datecode as commit date

 -u --user            record the specified user as committer

 -s --similarity      guess renamed files by similarity (0<=s<=100)

global options:

 -R --repository      repository root directory or name of overlay bundle file

    --cwd             change working directory
