Refetching a locally deleted file from Mercurial

Question

I deleted one of the files that was in my repository locally (just at the file system level, not using hg remove). I now want to get that file back from the repository to my local directory. When I do hg status, it knows that the file is locally deleted, but there are no changes to be commited which is what I would expect.

Solution 1

The following will revert all deleted files in the current repo:

hg status -nd0|xargs -0 hg revert

Solution 2

cd to your dir and do "hg revert ." to restore all files or used any appropriate mask like *.java, etc.. This will effect only the current dir (not sure about subdirs).
