But *I'm* talking about 'patch'. That has nothing to do with either merge or revert. > Besides, "hg status" is meant to show untracked files which could > *potentially* be tracked.

My view is that 'hg status' tells me all the files that have appeared in my tree that I'm either not currently tracking or explicitly ignoring (because the project's automated tools will deal with them). Nothing in there about limiting it to files I *might* want to track. That is how I've always used my version control systems. -- R. David Murray http://www.bitdance.com
