NAME

       mercurial-importdsc - Import exiting package into Mercurial repository.

SYNOPSIS

       mercurial-importdsc [option] ... dscfile

DESCRIPTION

       Import an existing source package into  a  Mercurial  repository.   The
       diffs  and upstream sources are extracted from the contents of the .dsc
       file.  mercurial-importorig(1) is called to import the upstream  source
       into the upstream branch, which is then merged into the default branch,
       and the diffs are applied to the default branch.  It is possible to use
       mercurial-importdsc  multiple times to import several versions, but the
       versions must be  imported  sequentially  starting  with  the  earliest
       version.

OPTIONS

       --version, -V

              Output version and exit.

       --verbose, -v

              Increase verbosity level.  Can be used several times.

EXAMPLES

       mercurial-importdsc ../mypack_1.2-3.dsc

              Import  package  mypack version 1.2-3 into the repository in the
              current directory.  After the import, the repository  will  have
              the tags mypack_1.2 and mypack_1.2-3.
