580 | 86 SPECIFYING SINGLE REVISIONS |
87 --------------------------- | |
88 | |
89 Mercurial accepts several notations for identifying individual | |
90 revisions. | |
91 | |
92 A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative | |
93 integers are treated as offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the | |
94 tip. | |
95 | |
96 A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision | |
97 identifier. | |
98 | |
99 A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a | |
100 unique revision identifier, and referred to as a short-form | |
101 identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the | |
102 prefix of one full-length identifier. | |
103 | |
104 Any other string is treated as a tag name, which is a symbolic | |
105 name associated with a revision identifier. Tag names may not | |
106 contain the ":" character. | |
107 | |
108 The reserved name "tip" is a special tag that always identifies | |
109 the most recent revision. | |
110 | |
111 SPECIFYING MULTIPLE REVISIONS | |
112 ----------------------------- | |
113 | |
114 When Mercurial accepts more than one revision, they may be | |
115 specified individually, or provided as a continuous range, | |
116 separated by the ":" character. | |
117 | |
118 The syntax of range notation is [BEGIN]:[END], where BEGIN and END | |
119 are revision identifiers. Both BEGIN and END are optional. If | |
120 BEGIN is not specified, it defaults to revision number 0. If END | |
121 is not specified, it defaults to the tip. The range ":" thus | |
122 means "all revisions". | |
123 | |
124 If BEGIN is greater than END, revisions are treated in reverse | |
125 order. | |
126 | |

127 A range acts as a closed interval. This means that a range of 3:5 |
580 | 128 gives 3, 4 and 5. Similarly, a range of 4:2 gives 4, 3, and 2. |
