git stash equivalents in other revision control systems?

Question

Does hg, svn or others have an option like git stash?

Answer 1

If you don't want to use shelves, you can do it the following way.

hg diff > mylocalchanges.txt
hg revert -a
# Do your merge here, once you are done, import back your local mods
hg import --no-commit mylocalchanges.txt
