hg status --copies does not work with --rev
Last modified: 2012-05-13 04:58:00 EDT
Copies are only detected when referenced by the dirstate. The ability to know a file used to be named like another in a previous rev may be useful to diff across revisions. Having a copy/rename aware diff command maybe useful too. $ hg init $ echo a > a $ hg ci -Am t adding a $ hg copy a b $ hg ci -Am t $ hg st --rev 0 --copies A b
it doesn't work at all: $ hg init $ echo a > b $ hg ci -Am 1 adding b $ hg rename b a $ hg st -C A a b R b $ hg ci -Am 2 $ hg st -C --rev 0 --rev 1 A a R b Note you can use diff -g: $ hg diff -g -r 0 -r 1 diff --git a/b b/a rename from b rename to a
Fixed in recent hg
