maven - Mercurial (hg) ignore my change on file but keep updating -


is possible use mercurial (hg) ignore changes on local latest 1 , remind me of changes when conflicts?

e.g. have pom.xml file use less plugin, dont want less plugin run every time when change file in eclipse , triggers maven update. need when goes production.

so possible ignore changes on pom.xml file (comment out less plugin) not commit , still updates when other changes on pom.xml incoming.

you can't .hgignore, instructs mercurial untracked files ignore.

you can achieve want not committing changes pom.xml:

hg commit --exclude pom.xml

you'll need remember manual operation every commit, or can add following .hgrc or mercurial.ini:

[alias] mycommit = commit --exclude pom.xml 

hg mycommit exclude pom.xml
