hg incoming [-p] [-n] [-M] [-f] [-r REV]... [--bundle FILENAME] [SOURCE]

aliases: in

show new changesets found in source

Show new changesets found in the specified path/URL or the default pull location. These are the changesets that would have been pulled by 'hg pull' at the time you issued this command.

See pull for valid source format details.

With -B/--bookmarks, the result of bookmark comparison between local and remote repositories is displayed. With -v/--verbose, status is also displayed for each bookmark like below:

BM1               01234567890a added
BM2               1234567890ab advanced
BM3               234567890abc diverged
BM4               34567890abcd changed

The action taken locally when pulling depends on the status of each bookmark:

"added"
pull will create it
"advanced"
pull will update it
"diverged"
pull will create a divergent bookmark
"changed"
result depends on remote changesets

From the point of view of pulling behavior, bookmark existing only in the remote repository are treated as "added", even if it is in fact locally deleted.

For remote repository, using --bundle avoids downloading the changesets twice if the incoming is followed by a pull.

Examples:

  • show incoming changes with patches and full description:
    hg incoming -vp
    
  • show incoming changes excluding merges, store a bundle:
    hg in -vpM --bundle incoming.hg
    hg pull incoming.hg
    
  • briefly list changes inside a bundle:
    hg in changes.hg -T "{desc|firstline}\n"
    

Returns 0 if there are incoming changes, 1 otherwise.
