Mercurial rollback? Discard all local changes and start again?


I'm using Mercurial.

I've made a few errors with merging and so on, and just want to abandon all changes I have made (this includes changes committed locally, but never pushed).

How do I abandon everything and make my repo the same as the remote repo.

(ie see image, I want to discard those 5 queued up pushes)

*** note rollback only works on the (single) last transaction

*** my specific problem was that I had made changes to several different branches.

Solution

  • In the end I cloned the repo to a new folder

    hg clone https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo mercurial-repo
    

    and then I deleted my old .hg folder and replaced it with a known good one from the origin.
