Help: grep
hg grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
search revision history for a pattern in specified files
Search revision history for a regular expression in the specified files or the entire project.
By default, grep prints the most recent revision number for each file in which it finds a match. To get it to print every revision that contains a change in match status ("-" for a match that becomes a non-match, or "+" for a non-match that becomes a match), use the --diff flag.
PATTERN can be any Python (roughly Perl-compatible) regular expression.
If no FILEs are specified (and -f/--follow isn't set), all files in the repository are searched, including those that don't exist in the current branch or have been deleted in a prior changeset.
Template:
The following keywords are supported in addition to the common template keywords and functions. See also 'hg help templates'.
- change
- String. Character denoting insertion "+" or removal "-". Available if "--diff" is specified.
- lineno
- Integer. Line number of the match.
- path
- String. Repository-absolute path of the file.
- texts
- List of text chunks.
And each entry of "{texts}" provides the following sub-keywords.
- matched
- Boolean. True if the chunk matches the specified pattern.
- text
- String. Chunk content.
See 'hg help templates.operators' for the list expansion syntax.
Returns 0 if a match is found, 1 otherwise.
