Mercurial commandline: How to show changes of a specific revision?

Question

After I pull a new head into my repository, I want to see what files are touched by the new head. Like an hg status but without changing over to i

Answer 1

Use the --change option to hg status, passing it the revision you're curious about. For instance,

hg status --change tip

lists the files changed in tip. I believe this flag was added in hg 1.7.
