UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I have two files: file01.txt and file02.txt. File02.txt is the upgraded version of file01.txt and I want to add both files to a mercurial repository, but such that file02.txt is seen as the extended version of file01.txt. So in essence both the file name and the file contents have changed.

I could do it the manual way, by adding file01.txt, copying it, add the contents of file02.txt to file01.txt, pull, merge and commit, but that becomes tiresome for the amount of files I have. Any quicker way?

HI Fiagro,
could you please show us how you need the content of file need to be change so we will better proceed.

regards,
Sanjay

You can think of it as files being pre-prepared, so there is a version 1, which contains file01.txt, say a list of airport codes. The next version is version 2, having file02.txt of next years airport codes. From the context I know that file02.txt is the successor (or rather: new version) of file01.txt and both files exist already. I am looking for a way to handle this in Mercurial efficiently.
