How to Permanently Remove the Changeset From Mercurial?

Steps

1. Backup repository/repositories you want to modify.
2. Enable “mq” extension. If you don’t know how to enable it, follow these steps.
   1. Open TortoiseHG Workbench
   2. Go to File > Settings > USERNAME’s Global Settings > Extensions > select “mq” > press OK button
   3. Restart TortoiseHG by closing and opening it again.
3. Select changeset you want to remove > Right click > Modify History > Strip … > press Strip button
4. Broadcast to everyone who uses the repository to clone it from “clean” repository

Reminder

I would like to remind you that typically it is against the best practice to permanently remove any changeset from any version control.

Prerequisite

• Small team
• Full control over all the clones

Why remove and not back out?

You want to keep the repository “clean”
