This annoys me to no end also. Fortunately, I think I've found a solution. One can make use of mercurial's hooks. Add the following to the hgrc file inside your clone's .hg directory: [hooks] pre-status = hg revert runtime/doc/tags pre-update = hg revert runtime/doc/tags This now means that automatically, before any 'hg stat' or before any 'hg update', the relevant revert operation will be done for you. (I know that one of hg's hooks is 'preupdate', but that didn't work if there was also the pre-status hook installed, because it created an unresolvable file locking issue. So keep it 'pre-update' rather than 'preupdate'.) If anyone discovers an additional hook for which it might be useful to run the revert op, let the list know :) -Manny -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
