NAME
       hg copy - mark files as copied for the next commit

SYNOPSIS
       hg copy [OPTION]... (SOURCE... DEST | --forget DEST...)

DESCRIPTION
       Mark dest as having copies of source files. If dest is a directory,
       copies are put in that directory. If dest is a file, the source must be
       a single file.

       By default, this command copies the contents of files as they exist in
       the working directory. If invoked with -A/--after, the operation is
       recorded, but no copying is performed.

       To undo marking a destination file as copied, use --forget. With that
       option, all given (positional) arguments are unmarked as copies. The
       destination file(s) will be left in place (still tracked). Note that hg
       copy --forget behaves the same way as hg rename --forget.

       This command takes effect with the next commit by default.

       Returns 0 on success, 1 if errors are encountered.
