When you first clone the repository, you are in the default branch. You can see this by running “hg branch” in your checkout. That command will always tell you what your current branch is. If you want to build 7.3, then you first need to switch to the vim73 branch. You do this by running “hg update vim73”. Now any commits you make will be on the vim73 branch. When you run “hg pull” to get the latest changes, this simply pulls the latest changes into your local repository. You still have to update your branch to use those changes. If you haven't made any commits (i.e., your branch doesn't deviate from Bram's), then you can simply run “hg update” to advance your current branch to its tip. If you have made commits, then you'll need to merge the head that was created when you did a pull. This should simply be a matter of running “hg merge”, but you can always see what Mercurial will try to do before actually performing the merge -- “hg merge -P”. I'd really suggest going through <http://hginit.com/>, <http://hgbook.red-bean.com>, and <http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Tutorial>. -- James GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <[email protected]>
