How can I list a series of revisions using 'hg log'?

Question

I\'m attempting to use the hg log command to show a series of revisions, x through y.

When I do this:

hg log -r 1+5


        

Answer 1

hg log -r1:5.

Mercurial has an entire mini-language devoted to selecting revisions for commands (not just for logs). For more information, see hg help revsets (needs Mercurial 1.6+).
