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 I get this:
changeset: 1:7320d2a9baa5 user: Tim Post <[email protected]> date: Fri Sep 30 20:38:29 2011 +0800 summary: Foo foo everywhere is foo changeset: 5:8d6bea76ce60 user: Tim Post <[email protected]> date: Fri Sep 30 20:51:42 2011 +0800 summary: Blah blah blah Which is Mercurial understanding that I want to see revisions one and five instead of one through five.
Oddly enough, this works:
hg log -r 1+2+3+4+5 But, that gets extremely cumbersome, especially when trying to get a summary between revisions that are +500 away from each other.
Is there a way to get logs for revisions x through y instead of x and y without concatenating every revision in the series?
I'm using the output in order to determine how many commitments each developer made in a given series. If I simply can't do that using the hg command, I'm more than open to using the Mercurial API. I resorted to the hg command because I did not see an obvious way of doing it via the API.
By API, I mean just using Python via a hook or extension.

The hg command provides a command line interface to the Mercurial system.
A changeset (sometimes abbreviated "cset") is an atomic collection of changes to files in a repository. It contains all recorded local modification that lead to a new revision of the repository. A changeset is identified uniquely by a changeset ID. In a single repository, you can identify it using a revision number.
hg status shows the status of a repository. Files are stored in a project's working directory (which users see), and the local repository (where committed snapshots are permanently recorded). hg add tells Mercurial to track files. hg commit creates a snapshot of the changes to 1 or more files in the local repository.
A simple way to 'uncommit' your last commit is to use hg strip -r -1 -k. In case the link breaks, the documentation mentioned by @phb states: hg rollback Roll back the last transaction (DANGEROUS) (DEPRECATED) Please use 'hg commit --amend' instead of rollback to correct mistakes in the last commit.
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+).
