hg-remove: Recursively remove sub-repositories.
$ hg remove --subrepos
try on your machine

The command "hg remove --subrepos" is used in Mercurial (a distributed version control system) to remove a file or directory and any associated subrepositories (nested repositories within the main repository).

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "hg" is the command-line executable for Mercurial.
  • "remove" is a command specifying that you want to remove a file or directory from the repository.
  • "--subrepos" is an option or flag that instructs Mercurial to also remove any subrepositories related to the file or directory being removed.

By using this command, you can delete files or directories from both the main repository and any subrepositories, ensuring that the changes are recorded and synchronized across the entire project.
