How to revert a Mercurial hg pull?

Question

If you do an hg pull and then an hg update (or an hg merge), is there a way to back this out? Ie: revert your repository to the state pri

Answer 1

If you want to remove all traces of the pull form your history then you need to use an extension as Bert F suggests (the philosophy in mercurial is to never change history)

if you dont mind history containing your mistake you have two slightly different options hg update -C -r which will create a new branch at the version you specify or hg revert -r which will stay on the same branch but create a new uncommited change undoing everything.
