Default: 0 (unenforced)   + +Subrepositories +--------------- + +A `subrepository <http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/subrepos>`_ +is a feature introduced in Mercurial 1.3. It allows one Mercurial +repository to store references to external Mercurial (or potentially +other VCS) repositories, and to include the state of those external +repositories in the main repository's history. + +TortoiseHg 1.0 introduced rudimentary support for subrepositories, and +only in the commit / status tool. When Mercurial considers a subrepo as +dirty, it will appear in the commit tool as a special entry in the file +list with a status of *S*. If a subrepo is included in the file list of +a commit, the subrepo is committed along with the other changes, +updating the .hgsubstate file in the main repository root. + +Prior to TortoiseHg 1.0, dirty subrepos were not shown in the commit +tool and .hgsubstate was not updated during commits. + +  MQ patches  ----------
