Undoing a checkin ?

Question

Hi,

I have a project folder like this:

project/
   cow/
     a.java
   horse/
     b.java

both a.java and b.java were modified. I navigated into horse/, and did:

hg ci 

but for some reason even a.java got checked in, even though I was in a different folder, ugh. Is there a way to undo the checkin? I want to leave the files alone, just basically roll back the checkin. I haven't committed it yet or anything.

For the future, what was the right way to do this checkin, local just to horse/ ?

Thanks

Answer 1

hg checkin foo.java bar.java

will checkin foo.java and bar.java.

hg checkin .

will checkin the local directory.

To rollback, use... hg rollback. But it has limitations, ie, it doesn't work with mercurial queues out-of-the-box.
