Add delete_builds.pl - a utility for making space quickly on build machines This Perl script deletes some directories known to contain very large files first, before deleting the rest of the build which contains millions of small files. Given multiple builds, it will do this breadth first, so that lost of space is released quickly.

hg blacklist 

manage repository changeset blacklist
  
  This extension is used to manage a blacklist for the repository.
  Can blacklist changesets by changeset id, and regular expressions against
  the user field of a changeset and also a changesets file list.
  
  Current rules can be viewed using the [-l|--list] operation.
  
  Each modification to a blacklist is logged. These can be viewed using the 
  --auditlog operation.
  
  Each time a changeset is blocked/denied it's logged. These can be viewed
  using the --blocklog operation.
  
  Types of changeset blacklist rules can be defined implicitly or explicitly:
  
    If a rule definition contains between 12 and 40 hexadecimal characters 
    it is assumed to be a rule matched against changeset id. Can be set 
    explicitly set with the -n flag to the --add operation.
  
    If a rule definition contains a '@' it is assumed to be a rule matched 
    against a changeset's user property. Can be set explicitly with 
    the -u flag to the --add operation.
  
    Otherwise the rule is assumed to be matched against a changeset's file 
    list. Can be set explicitly with the -f flag to the --add operation.
  
    When this extension is enabled a hook is also added to the 
    'pretxnchangegroup' action that will block any incoming changesets 
    (via pull/push/unbundle) if they are blacklisted.
    It won't block any local commits.
