[a] In Mercurial, the repository instance is stored inside working copy. [b] In Git, the repository instance is stored inside working copy. [c] Without -a, commits only those things which have been explicitly added to the git index. [d] git add is also used to notify Git of a modified file. [e] Or, automatic when using git commit -a. [f] git checkout can be used to revert the contents of a file. There is a git revert command but it is used to alter changesets that have already been committed. [g] Tag appears as a directory in the repository tree. Causes a commit. [h] Tags are stored in a version-controlled text file. Causes a commit. [i] Tags are stored in a database DAG. [j] Branch appears as a directory in the repository tree. Causes a commit. [k] Lock is unsupported by Mercurial. [l] Lock is unsupported by Git. [m] Requires network connection to the upstream repository instance. [n] Requires --new-branch when pushing a new branch. [o] By default, pushes only the branches which already exist on the other side. [p] By default, pushes all changesets in all DAGs. [q] Does not update the working copy without -u. [r] git pull is equivalent to pull followed by update. [s] Does not update the working copy without -u. | ||||
