hg shelve equivalent of git stash drop

I have the hg shelve (not attic) extension installed, and I want to drop a patch. In git it would be git stash drop. How do I do this using the shelve extension?

Solution

  • The Mercurial shelve extension stores patches under .hg/shelved. Each is a simple patch file, and the filename is the name of the patch. So to remove a patch called 'mypatch' I can simply remove the file 'mypatch' from .hg/shelved:

    rm .hg/shelved/mypatch
