Guys, please be careful recommending commands like this without
commentary. The last command will erase anything in your hg repository
that isn't tracked by hg, and is in fact a reimplementation of the
dangerous purge extension:

I like hg's general ethos to be very conservative about dangerous
commands, so I'd like to follow this in Octave. I don't want anyone
losing data accidentally due to blindly following bad advice. Data is
sacred. Be careful.
Furthermore, I recommend you keep separate build and source
directories. There should be no need to purge the hg repo if you do
this.
