Question

If I issue this command in terminal in a git repository it gives me commit unique ids or what I know as revision list, like below:

$ git rev-list --reverse master

How can I achieve the same result in Mercurial repository?

Basically, it’s an output customization on the hg log command:

$ hg log --template '{node}\n'

You can supply -r to specify which revset you want to display, like -r 100:200 (changesets since #100 up to #200) or -r "ancestors(v1.1)" (what was included in version 1.1).

Note that you can specify other fields like {desc} or {rev}. See also the Mercurial book.
