Well this is what I have:

function bsmithdiff { hg diff -c `hg log -l 1 --template '{node}' $1` }

bsmithdiff src/makefile

This one [bash function] is slightly better

function bsmithdiff { hg diff -c `hg log -l $1 --template '{node}\n' $2| tail -1` $2 }

bsmithdiff 1 src/makefile bsmithdiff 2 src/makefile

What good is this? It doesn't show any changes. I want to see the last two sets of changes.

It shows the last 2 changes to src/makefile for me.

Ok, you just sent me nothing so I assumed it showed nothing. Barry
