I want to remove, rename, or copy a file

Chris@496: Chris@497:

To remove or rename a file, you first need to find it in the list of Chris@497: files under “My work”. This area normally shows only those files that Chris@497: you have changed since your last commit: if it isn't one of those, Chris@497: toggle the “Show all files” option at the bottom of the window.

The file will be moved to the “Removed” list. This tells Mercurial Chris@497: to stop tracking the file the next time you commit. The file itself Chris@497: is not removed from the disc: you will need to do that using your Chris@497: system file manager afterwards. Chris@497:
