mercurial - Generating a list of which files changed between hg versions

Question

I want to generate a list of which files changed between two revisions in a given directory in Mercurial.

In particular, I am not interested in what changed, but which files changed in that directory.

E.g., supposing that between then and otherthen, only 2 files changed:

>hg hypothetical-command -r then:otherthen
foo.baz
bar.baz
>

What's the hypothetical command? I've tried diff and log, but I can't see how to convince them to do it: either I get the patch(diff), or I get the whole repo(log).

Answer 1

hg status --rev x:y

where x and y are desired revision numbers (or tag or branch names).

If you are using the terminal in windows add hg status --rev x:y> your-file.txt to save the list to a file.
