Chris@496 5
Chris@497 6 <p>To remove or rename a file, you first need to find it in the list of
Chris@497 7 files under &ldquo;My work&rdquo;. This area normally shows only those files that
Chris@497 8 you have changed since your last commit: if it isn't one of those,
Chris@497 9 toggle the &ldquo;Show all files&rdquo; option at the bottom of the window.</p>
Chris@496 10
Chris@497 11 <p>To <b>remove</b> a file from version control so that changes to it are no longer tracked:</p>
Chris@497 12
Chris@497 13 <p><b>1. Select the file you want to remove in the list of files under &ldquo;My work&rdquo;.</b></p>
Chris@497 14
Chris@497 15 <p><b>2. Click Remove in the toolbar on the left of the window</b></p>
Chris@497 16
Chris@497 17 <p>The file will be moved to the <b>&ldquo;Removed&rdquo;</b> list. This tells Mercurial
Chris@497 18 to stop tracking the file the next time you commit. The file itself
Chris@497 19 is not removed from the disc: you will need to do that using your
Chris@497 20 system file manager afterwards.
Chris@497 21 <ul><li>Note: the equivalent Mercurial command for this is <b>hg remove -Af</b></li></ul></p>
Chris@497 22
Chris@497 23 <p>To <b>rename</b> or <b>copy</b> a file:</p>
Chris@497 24
Chris@497 25 <p><b>1. Select the file you want to remove in the list of files under &ldquo;My work&rdquo;.</b></p>
Chris@497 26
Chris@497 27 <p><b>2. Right-click and select &ldquo;Rename..." or &ldquo;Copy..." on the context menu</b></p>
Chris@497 28
Chris@497 29 <p><b>3. Enter a new name for the file.</b>
Chris@497 30 <ul><li>Note: the equivalent Mercurial commands are <b>hg rename</b> and <b>hg copy</b></li></ul></p>
