I've been assigned the task to do a huge merge, ~1500 commits, on a mercurial project.

In the local fork we have deleted about ~200 files, right now I need to press d and enter for each file:

remote changed file/that/is/deleted/in/local which local deleted
use (c)hanged version or leave (d)eleted?

Is there a way to tell mercurial to choose to delete all those files?

Are you on a Unix-like system? If so, this command will automate answering "d" to all questions. That's what it's for. (Will only work if there are no other issues requesting manual intervention, of course.)

yes d | hg merge ...

If you're not, you could implement it yourself :-) E.g.,

perl -e "for (;1;) { print \"d\n\"; }" | hg merge ...

Or write a Windows batch file with an infinite loop (etc.)

YES.BAT | hg merge ...

You deleted them on local? You can't just do an hg addremove? If they changed after removal, but before pushing I think you are out of luck :(

As per the second answer and its comments in Resolving conflicts: how to accept "their" changes automatically?,

hg merge --tool internal:local

will work.
