C:\discovery>hg log -r tip^1 --style compact
abort: unknown revision 'tip1'!
The reason for that is that caret ^ is escape character on
windoze. So this command works ok:
C:\discovery>hg log -r tip^^1 --style compact

It would be nice to mention this on
http://www.selenic.com/hg/help/revsets and link to
cross-platform alternative.
