Mercurial: Export Diff Dialog Box
The Mercurial Export Diff dialog box enables you to export all the diffs for
modified files within a given changeset. You can also use the dialog to attach
the diffs to an existing issue in your repository's issue tracker.
You can access the Export Diff dialog by choosing Team > (Mercurial >) Export
Diff from the main menu.
Choose from Revisions: Select a revision from the drop-down field.
Revisions are displayed containing revision numbers and corresponding changeset IDs
in parentheses. Revisions are listed according to date (i.e., the most current
revision is displayed by default).
Details: The following read-only fields list information that will
be associated with the exported diffs.
- Description: The description associated with the changeset.
- Author: The author associated with the changeset.
- Date: The date the changeset was created (i.e., pushed to the
repository).
Specify whether you want to output the diffs to a file on your computer, or attach them
to an existing issue. Select one of the two options:
- Save as File: Specify the name and location of the output file that
will be generated from performing the export. Click Browse to open an explorer allowing
you to navigate to a specific location on your computer.
- Attach to Issue: To attach the diffs to an existing issue, you need
to specify your repository's issue tracker and the issue ID. You can also indicate
a description of the diff by typing a message in Patch Description.
- Issue Tracker: Select the issue tracker for your project
from the drop-down list. The drop-down
provides you with a list of all issue trackers registered with the IDE. If
the issue tracker for your project is not registered, click the New
button to register the issue tracker.
- Issue: Specify the issue ID. You can do this by typing in
the ID, or part of the description.
