Synopsis

hg addremove [OPTION]... [FILE]...

Description

Add all new files and remove all missing files from the repository.

Unless names are given, new files are ignored if they match any of the patterns in .hgignore. As with add, these changes take effect at the next commit.

Use the -s/--similarity option to detect renamed files. This option takes a percentage between 0 (disabled) and 100 (files must be identical) as its parameter. With a parameter greater than 0, this compares every removed file with every added file and records those similar enough as renames. Detecting renamed files this way can be expensive. After using this option, hg status -C can be used to check which files were identified as moved or renamed. If not specified, -s/--similarity defaults to 100 and only renames of identical files are detected.

Examples:

  • A number of files (bar.c and foo.c) are new, while foobar.c has been removed (without using hg remove) from the repository:

    $ ls
bar.c foo.c
$ hg status
! foobar.c
? bar.c
? foo.c
$ hg addremove
adding bar.c
adding foo.c
removing foobar.c
$ hg status
A bar.c
A foo.c
R foobar.c

  • A file foobar.c was moved to foo.c without using hg rename. Afterwards, it was edited slightly:

    $ ls
foo.c
$ hg status
! foobar.c
? foo.c
$ hg addremove --similarity 90
removing foobar.c
adding foo.c
recording removal of foobar.c as rename to foo.c (94% similar)
$ hg status -C
A foo.c
  foobar.c
R foobar.c

Returns 0 if all files are successfully added.
