Help: absorb

hg absorb [OPTION] [FILE]...

incorporate corrections into the stack of draft changesets

absorb analyzes each change in your working directory and attempts to amend the changed lines into the changesets in your stack that first introduced those lines.

If absorb cannot find an unambiguous changeset to amend for a change, that change will be left in the working directory, untouched. They can be observed by 'hg status' or 'hg diff' afterwards. In other words, absorb does not write to the working directory.

Changesets outside the revset '::. and not public() and not merge()' will not be changed.

Changesets that become empty after applying the changes will be deleted.

By default, absorb will show what it plans to do and prompt for confirmation. If you are confident that the changes will be absorbed to the correct place, run 'hg absorb -a' to apply the changes immediately.

Returns 0 on success, 1 if all chunks were ignored and nothing amended.

(use 'hg help -e absorb' to show help for the absorb extension)
