<h3>relink</h3>
<p>recreate hardlinks between two repositories:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
hg relink [ORIGIN]
</pre>
<p>When repositories are cloned locally, their data files will be
hardlinked so that they only use the space of a single repository.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, subsequent pulls into either repository will break
hardlinks for any files touched by the new changesets, even if
both repositories end up pulling the same changes.</p>
<p>Similarly, passing --rev to &quot;hg clone&quot; will fail to use any
hardlinks, falling back to a complete copy of the source
repository.</p>
<p>This command lets you recreate those hardlinks and reclaim that
wasted space.</p>
<p>This repository will be relinked to share space with ORIGIN, which
must be on the same local disk. If ORIGIN is omitted, looks for
&quot;default-relink&quot;, then &quot;default&quot;, in [paths].</p>
<p>Do not attempt any read operations on this repository while the
command is running. (Both repositories will be locked against
writes.)</p>
