Negative integers are treated as sequential offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the tip, -2 denoting the revision prior to the tip, and so forth.</p> <p>A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision identifier.</p> <p>A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a unique revision identifier and is referred to as a short-form identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the prefix of exactly one full-length identifier.</p> <p>Any other string is treated as a tag or branch name. A tag name is a symbolic name associated with a revision identifier. A branch name denotes the tipmost revision of that branch. Tag and branch names must not contain the ":" character.</p> <p>The reserved name "tip" is a special tag that always identifies the most recent revision.</p> <p>The reserved name "null" indicates the null revision. This is the revision of an empty repository, and the parent of revision 0.</p> <p>The reserved name "." indicates the working directory parent. If no working directory is checked out, it is equivalent to null.

Both BEGIN and END are optional. If BEGIN is not specified, it defaults to revision number 0. If END is not specified, it defaults to the tip. The range ":" thus means "all revisions".</p> <p>If BEGIN is greater than END, revisions are treated in reverse order.</p> <p>A range acts as a closed interval.

The git diff format is not produced by default because a few widespread tools still do not understand this format.</p> <p>This means that when generating diffs from a Mercurial repository (e.g. with "hg export"), you should be careful about things like file copies and renames or other things mentioned above, because when applying a standard diff to a different repository, this extra information is lost. Mercurial's internal operations (like push and pull) are not affected by this, because they use an internal binary format for communicating changes.</p> <p>To make Mercurial produce the git extended diff format, use the --git option available for many commands, or set 'git = True' in the [diff] section of your hgrc. You do not need to set this option when importing diffs in this format or using them in the mq extension.</p> </div> <div class="section" id="template-usage"> <span id="templates"></span><span id="templating"></span><h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#contents">Template Usage</a></h1> <p>Mercurial allows you to customize output of commands through templates.
