View source for Sheriffing/Backout-setup

In order to do backout's and checkins some setup is needed

1.) make sure you have mercurial installed 
2.) Clone Repos that we as sheriff maintain like mozilla-central, mozilla-inbound, fx-team and autoland 
3.) customize your .hg/hgrc of that trees as example my one for mozilla-inbound looks :
 
 [paths]
 default = http://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound
 default-push = ssh://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound
 [ui]
 username = Carsten "Tomcat" Book <cbook@mozilla.com>
 merge = internal:merge
 [extensions]
 qbackout = /sheriffs/trees/version-control-tools/hgext/qbackout
 histedit =
 progress =
 rebase =
 mq =
 qimportbz = /sheriffs/trees/version-control-tools/hgext/qimportbz
 transplant =
 [alias]
 rbimport = !hg transplant -e -s https://reviewboard-hg.mozilla.org/gecko -b $1

The whole backout is simple: 

As example a developer asks you to backout changeset ab1234 so the command for the backout would be 

 hg qbackout -r ab1234 && hg qrefresh -e 

The hg qbackout -r <revision> should contain the revision you will backout. The hg qrefresh -e command allows you to edit the commit message for the backout, like why you backout something (example for bustage). 

Backout multiple changsets ? 

As example you need to backout a push that had multiple changesets/parts, the command would be 

 hg qbackout -r firstcset -r 2ndcset && hg qrefresh -e
