This command is a version control command used in Mercurial (hg) to update the working directory to a specific date.

The "hg update" command is generally used to update the current working directory to a given revision, branch, or tag. In this case, it is used to update to a specific date.

The "--date" option is used to specify the date to which you want to update the working directory. The value "${dd-mm-yyyy}" is a placeholder indicating that you should replace it with the actual date in the format day-month-year (e.g., 01-01-2022).

So, for example, if you want to update the working directory to a specific date, you would replace "${dd-mm-yyyy}" with the desired date and execute the command. This will update the working directory to the state it had on that specific date.
