I would like to revert only some subfolders (and all their descendants) of my repository to a certain revision. Does anybody know if it is possible to do it with TortoisHg (without having to select each single file)?
Note: I'm using TortoiseHg, version 2.11
You can most easily do this from the manifest window in TortoiseHg.
In TortoiseHg Workbench, select View -> Manifest (Shortcut Alt-3 for me), select the revision you want, and in the manifest window right-click in the folder in question and select Revert to Revision....
You can bring up the manifest tool directly from the command line with:
thg manifest -r REV
Where REV is the revision you want to revert to. But if you're happy using the command line, you can save some time by just doing the following:
hg revert -r REV folder_to_revert
After you've done this, just commit the local changes (the result of reverting files) however you normally do it. If you decide against reverting the files, just do a clean update.
