Who knows ? For Mercurial I have preset command-lines for the commands
I use most, which are (for use with bash):
• hg in || echo "exit status" $? ; date
• hg --pager=yes --color=yes in || echo "exit status" $? ; date
• hg fetch --switch-parent || echo "exit status" $? ; date
• hg log -G -l 20
(or some other number: number of changesets to display, starting
from most recent)
When the fetch fails at the merge phase, it may be for various reasons
so I check the stdout for a clue and generally I find it. Then I may
correct the problem and/or make the merge in several steps, each time
followed by
• hg commit -m "manual merge"
or some other commit message
And when there is something I have forgotten, the online help is
almost as good as Vim's: for instance:
• tell me how to use the merge command
--- hg help merge
• tell me which extensions there are, and which one are installed
--- hg help extensions
etc.
