hg diff src/makefile

How come there isn't an option to have it show the most recent set of changes? It seems I have to hunt down some "revision numbers" and type them in the request to get any useful information? How about something like

hg diff --last src/makefile

The closest I can find is

hg diff -r-2 src/makefile

which diffs against the first revision before tip. However, if you pull a bunch of revisions, there is no guarantee that is right. You can generate this diff before the pull using 'hg incoming', but I can't yet find a command to give me the last thing pulled down.

hg diff by default does diff with working dir. What you want is: hg diff -c tip or hg diff -c -2 The relative-rev numbering is based on full changeset numbering from tip - and not selective-file-changeset nubmering - which is what Barry wants.. I don't know if that exists.. Satish
