hg annotate

show changeset information by line for each file

Contents

Synopsis

hg annotate [-r REV] [-f] [-a] [-u] [-d] [-n] [-c] [-l] FILE...

Description

List changes in files, showing the revision id responsible for each line.

This command is useful for discovering when a change was made and by whom.

If you include --file, --user, or --date, the revision number is suppressed unless you also include --number.

Without the -a/--text option, annotate will avoid processing files it detects as binary. With -a, annotate will annotate the file anyway, although the results will probably be neither useful nor desirable.

Template:

The following keywords are supported in addition to the common template keywords and functions. See also hg help templates.

lines:List of lines with annotation data.
path:String. Repository-absolute path of the specified file.

And each entry of {lines} provides the following sub-keywords in addition to {date}, {node}, {rev}, {user}, etc.

line:String. Line content.
lineno:Integer. Line number at that revision.
path:String. Repository-absolute path of the file at that revision.

See hg help templates.operators for the list expansion syntax.

Returns 0 on success.
