How to list all files in a repository in Mercurial (hg)?

Question

Is there a command in mercurial that will list all files currently under source control?

I can do a dir /s to list all files in my folder and subfolders,

You might also check out the hg locate command. I use it, along with the -I option when I want to limit the files to a certain directory.

To list all files in your repository:

hg locate

From the repository ("root") directory:

hg locate -I dir/sub_dir/dir_of_interest

The path passed to -I needs to change depending on the directory in which you run the command. If you run the command from the dir directory in the example above, you'd need to modify your argument to locate:

hg locate -I sub_dir/dir_of_interest

The list of output files will remain the same, showing each file's full path in the repository.

Try hg help -v locate for more info.
