hg log [OPTION]... [FILE]

aliases: history

show revision history of entire repository or files

Print the revision history of the specified files or the entire project.

If no revision range is specified, the default is "tip:0" unless --follow is set, in which case the working directory parent is used as the starting revision.

File history is shown without following rename or copy history of files. Use -f/--follow with a filename to follow history across renames and copies. --follow without a filename will only show ancestors or descendants of the starting revision.

By default this command prints revision number and changeset id, tags, non-trivial parents, user, date and time, and a summary for each commit. When the -v/--verbose switch is used, the list of changed files and full commit message are shown.

Note: log -p/--patch may generate unexpected diff output for merge changesets, as it will only compare the merge changeset against its first parent. Also, only files different from BOTH parents will appear in files:.

Note: for performance reasons, log FILE may omit duplicate changes made on branches and will not show deletions. To see all changes including duplicates and deletions, use the --removed switch.

Some examples:

See "hg help dates" for a list of formats valid for -d/--date.

See "hg help revisions" and "hg help revsets" for more about specifying revisions.

See "hg help templates" for more about pre-packaged styles and specifying custom templates.

Returns 0 on success.
