Restoring Mercurial repositories¶

How a bare repository looks like¶

It contains a single folder named .hg:

Clone the bare repository into a “regular” one:

hg clone bare-repo working-repo

working-repo will have a working directory.

Updating a bare repo to any revision will create a working directory in that repository.

To do this, hg update to any revision. For the newest revision, update to tip (a tag which points to the latest commit):

cd bare-repo
hg update tip

In TortoiseHG, right-click on any revision ⇒ Update.
