The date handling support in tip has been greatly improved. Commands
that take dates can now handle things like:
Dec 12 (this year)
3:30pm (today)
5/1/99 (May 1 1999)
1999-5-1 (same)
The log, update, and revert commands now accept a date option. For
log, this specifies a date range like so:
<Dec 12 (before December 12th, inclusive)
>3:30pm (after 15:30 local time)
May 5 to Jun 2
2005 (only changes in 2005)
-5 (in the last five days)
Dec 8 (everything on December 8th)
For update and revert, the date option specifies the tipmost revision
matching that date, like so:
$ hg co -d "Aug 2005"
Found revision 1182 from Wed Aug 31 21:07:36 2005 +0200
Also, you can now type "hg help dates" to get help on date formats.
