Rollback multiple commits (before Pushed to public) in Mercurial

Question

I am aware that rollbacks can remove commits from the latest changeset in a local repository. However, is it possible to remove all the latest commits since the previous push without having to re-clone the share repository?

Answer 1

You can use the hg strip command, part of the mq extension:

hg strip REV

This will remove that revision + all its descendants.

Before you try this, make a copy/clone of the repository to experiment in.

Answer 2

You could make a new repo with hg clone:

hg clone -r last_good_changeset localrepo newlocalrepo
