Do not save backup copies of files when doing revert in Mercurial

Answer:

When you want to revert your local changes by executing the command "hg revert filename", Mercurial will save your changes in the file "filename.orig".

To skip this, use the option - "--no-backup"

E.g.

# hg revert --no-backup filename
