dispatch: add shell aliases This patch adds git-style "shell aliases" to Mercurial. Any alias with a definition beginning with a '!' will be treated as a shell alias. For example: [alias] echo = !echo qempty = !hg qrefresh -X "`hg root`" ; echo Emptied patch "`hg qtop`" $ hg echo foo foo $ hg qempty Emptied patch foo $
