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 you can't tell this by looking at the verbose (-v) output of hg log. Is there an easy Mercurial command you can use to determine if and when a file has been removed from the repo?
Update: Note that this is on a Windows client, and we are using Mercurial v 1.4.3
Update 2: Appears the answers below would work with a more recent version of Mercurial, however an upgrade isn't in the cards right now. Any other ideas for v 1.4.3 ???

Mercurial offers a combination command, hg addremove , that adds untracked files and marks missing files as removed. The hg commit command also provides a -A option that performs this same add-and-remove, immediately followed by a commit.
hg strip [-k] [-f] [-B bookmark] [-r] REV... The strip command removes the specified changesets and all their descendants. If the working directory has uncommitted changes, the operation is aborted unless the --force flag is supplied, in which case changes will be discarded.
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.
DESCRIPTION. The hg command provides a command line interface to the Mercurial system.
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.

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 If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
