Mercurial - determine where file was removed?

Question

If you do hg log myfile -v you see a list of changesets that the file was modified in.

In our case, in the most recent changeset, the file was removed. But

Answer 1

This is what I use to list all the deleted files in my repository:

hg log --template "{rev}: {file_dels}\n" | grep -v ':\s*$'

Answer 2

You can check which revision deleted a file (any many other interesting features) using revsets:

hg log -r 'removes(<myfile>)'

Some examples:

hg log -r 'removes(build.xml)' // where build.xml used to be in the current directory

hg log -r 'removes("**/build.xml")' // where build.xml may have been in sub directories

See hg help revsets for details.

Answer 3

The --removed flag should get you what you are looking for:

hg log myfile -v --removed

From the help for hg log:

    --removed              include revisions where files were removed
