Flows Mercurial Work-Process

(Tested and verified by Rick Adler and Paul B. Hartzog on July 16, 2009)

AFTER you have used "hg clone" ( see http://code.google.com/p/flows-dev/source/checkout ) to setup your local repository and it is working for you, then each time you work, you can follow these steps:

• You sit down to work.
• "hg update" retrieves the current working code from the repository so you can make changes

• You work and make changes. When you are done with your work session, then...

• "hg addremove" will search the directory tree for any added or removed files
• "hg status" will show you all added/removed/changed files that are ready to be committed

• "hg pull" makes a local copy of the repository in case changes have been made by someone else since you started making your own changes
• "hg merge" merges other people's changes into your changes so that you can ....

• "hg commit -m '<msg>'" commits/prepares your changes with a message of explanation
• "hg push" pushes your code up to the repository
