Examining a single changeset in Mercurial

Question

In Mercurial, how do you examine a single changeset? hg log -l 5 will give me a summary of the newest 5 changesets, but how do I get a list of the files changed in one changeset? I don't want to do a diff.

Answer 1

Pass -v to log and it will print out additional information, including a list of files changed.

Example:

hg log -v -r<rev> | grep ^files

Answer 2

I was looking for the same thing and found the following command, which is more what I was looking for:

hg status --change <rev>

Found in this article.

Answer 3

If you want to see how did the contents of the files were changed for a given revision you can use:

hg diff --change <rev>

If you want to see the diff between the current revision and the one you are interested in, you can use:

hg diff -r <rev>
