Mercurial: how do I revert to a particular revision?

Question

I\'m working on a live server. I\'ve updated to tip and it\'s caused problems: I need to revert back to a particular changeset (388) where things were OK.

I have no chan

Answer 1

server:
- ..
- rev 386
- rev 387
- rev 388
- rev 389

clone to production

-- testing stuff, it doesn't work!
-- panic!
-- rev 390 (in panic)
-- rev 391 (in panic)
-- cool down, thinking, need to go back to 388
-- one way: hg update -C -rev 388 (to keep 390, 391)
-- other way: rm -rf dir (to discard 390, 391)
-- hg clone http://server/hg
-- cd dir
-- hg update 388 
-- testing, now works

There is also a wonderful Purge extension. Very solid stuff, it deletes all untracked files from working directory.
