Enriching a file log by branches, tags and bookmarks

[Dave S]

Are you trying to track the history of individual files, rather than the
default of repository history?

You want to use templates, but I don't see a template option that gives
just the name of the file you asked about on the command line.

hg log -f --template "{rev} {tags} {branch} {files}\n"
controllers/default.py

is close, but gives you all the files changed in the applicable revisions.
If you drop the {files}, you don't get a file name at all (but you already
know the filename, since you put it on the command line).

An alternative would be to use the XML style:

hg log -f --style xml controllers/default.py


This doesn't seem to show the filename, either, but again you specified the
file so you know the file.

Take a look at templates in the hg help system.
