No need for it to be an embarrassed thanks. Just be prepare if you haven't done the reading I will hint to where the information can be found. If you have done the reading, please don't forget to mention that so that I know you may need a different explanation.

A rather embarrassed thanks. I'll remember to check help in the future.

Look at help for the archive command of mercurial: hg help archive This was easy enough to find just by doing: hg help This is what I like about mercurial, its help is useful and if you need more then the documentation available on the internet is good. Another way, probably not so good to get a clean copy is to clone the repository: hg clone old_repository new_location However if you just use archiving tools on the new_repository you will probably include the repository files as well (eg. .hg directory).

I have produced a draft design for BrailleBlaster in a local Mercurial repository. It would be nice if I could make a zip file for posting to the list, but the directory contains lots of other files, so i want to include only the files that have been registered with Mercurial. Can I do this or something similar? Thanks, John
