In git it’s quite convenient to identify a commit relative to the latest commit in the repo with HEAD~1.
I have searched and cannot find an equivalent for this in mercurial. I find mercurials revision numbers rather annoying.
There is a mercurial extension that adds git like commands.
Specific command is
hg log -pr .^1.For extra information, see examining a changeset in hg
Edit: Use
.^1, nottip^1. As mentioned below,tipgives the most recent commit in the entire repo, which is possibly not what you want. The.is closer in meaning to git’sHEAD. (See also: Specify dot as a revision in Mercurial)
