Mercurial getting file-specific log/history information

Is there a way to get file specific information, similar to

hg log

I basically want committer, date/time, and the commit summary, but of just a single file.

Solution

  • You can filter the results of the hg log command by including a filename like so:

    hg log file.txt

    That will give you the standard log for every changeset where file.txt was changed. You can use

    hg log file.txt -l 10 -r "not merge()"

    to limit it to only the last 10 as well as excluding merge changes using revsets
