Mercurial - get a list of files that were changed in the most recent changeset

Question

I know that hg export tip contains the above information. But the output contains more information than I need. Is there a way to get only the file names without parsing the output of hg export tip? Maybe some other mercurial command?

Answer 1

You want status, use it like this:

hg stat --change tip

That will list the file name of each file changed in the changeset tagged tip with a preceding M for modified, R for removed, or A for added.

You can replace tip with a tag or a revision number.
