+ * To backport a changeset from trunk, use the [http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/TransplantExtension transplant] extension.  Or use this handy script which will generate the commit message for you:

+}

+# Modify the commit message

+hg rollback > /dev/null || exit 1
+hg commit -l hg-commit-message.txt || exit 1
+echo "Backport committed."
+   }}}
+   The command line is like:
+   {{{
+#!sh
+hg_backport 1.2.X 13643`
+}}}
+   where 1.2.X is a directory under 'releases/' in the Subversion repo, and 13643 is a hg revision ID.  The change is already committed, but not 'pushed', so you can still rollback if changes need to be made.
