NAME

       hg tag - add one or more tags for the current or given revision

SYNOPSIS

       hg tag [-f] [-l] [-m TEXT] [-d DATE] [-u USER] [-r REV] NAME...

DESCRIPTION

       Name a particular revision using <name>.

       Tags  are  used  to  name particular revisions of the repository and are very useful to compare different
       revisions, to go back to significant earlier versions or to mark branch points as releases, etc. Changing
       an existing tag is normally disallowed; use -f/--force to override.

       If no revision is given, the parent of the working directory is used.

       To facilitate version control, distribution, and merging of  tags,  they  are  stored  as  a  file  named
       ".hgtags"  which  is  managed  similarly to other project files and can be hand-edited if necessary. This
       also means that tagging creates a new commit. The file ".hg/localtags" is used for local tags (not shared
       among repositories).

       Tag commits are usually made at the head of a branch. If the parent of the working  directory  is  not  a
       branch head, hg tag aborts; use -f/--force to force the tag commit to be based on a non-head changeset.

       See hg help dates for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.

       Since  tag names have priority over branch names during revision lookup, using an existing branch name as
       a tag name is discouraged.

       Returns 0 on success.
