How to automatically remove all .orig files in Mercurial working tree?

Question

During merges mercurial leaves .orig file for any unresolved file. But after manually resolving problems and marking a file correct it does not delete the .orig file. Can it be automatically removed by some command?

I work on a Mac so I can use something like:

find . -iname '*.orig' -exec rm '{}' ';'

and alias it or something, but I'd rather use something like hg cleanup...

Answer 1

you should use the update hook

update: This is run after an update or merge of the working directory has finished

Answer 2

Personally I go for

rm **/*.orig

if I get tired of the .orig files. But if you want a built-in solution, then maybe you'll like the purge extension.
