roman at wrench wc/MINE/py-impala master 0 1007 1 > hg log -c tip^
zsh: no match
roman at wrench wc/MINE/py-impala master 0 1008 1 > hg log -c parents(tip)   
zsh: unknown file attribute: i
roman at wrench wc/MINE/py-impala master 0 1009 1 > hg log -c
parents(tip)[1]
zsh: no match
roman at wrench wc/MINE/py-impala master 0 1010 1 >
