109 Mercurial accepts several notations for identifying one or more
110 files at a time.
111
112 By default, Mercurial treats filenames as shell-style extended
113 glob patterns.
114
115 Alternate pattern notations must be specified explicitly.
116
117 To use a plain path name without any pattern matching, start a
118 name with "path:". These path names must match completely, from
119 the root of the current repository.
120
121 To use an extended glob, start a name with "glob:". Globs are
122 rooted at the current directory; a glob such as "*.c" will match
123 files ending in ".c" in the current directory only.
124
125 The supported glob syntax extensions are "**" to match any string
126 across path separators, and "{a,b}" to mean "a or b".
127
128 To use a Perl/Python regular expression, start a name with "re:".
129 Regexp pattern matching is anchored at the root of the repository.
130
131 Plain examples:
132
133 path:foo/bar a name bar in a directory named foo in the root of
134 the repository
135 path:path:name a file or directory named "path:name"
136
137 Glob examples:
138
139 glob:*.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory
140 *.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory
141 **.c any name ending in ".c" in the current directory, or
142 any subdirectory
143 foo/*.c any name ending in ".c" in the directory foo
144 foo/**.c any name ending in ".c" in the directory foo, or any
145 subdirectory
146
147 Regexp examples:
148
149 re:.*\.c$ any name ending in ".c", anywhere in the repository
