hg-log: Display the revision history for a specific date.
$ hg log --date ${date}
try on your machine

This command is used to display the revision history or log of a Mercurial repository, based on a specific date.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • hg log: This is the main command to view the revision history of a Mercurial repository.
  • --date: This is an option flag used to specify the date criteria for filtering the log. It indicates that you want to filter the log based on a date.
  • ${date}: This is a placeholder for the specific date you want to use for filtering the log. You need to replace ${date} with the desired date in a format recognized by Mercurial. For example, you might replace ${date} with 2021-01-01 to view the log entries from January 1, 2021 onwards.

Overall, this command will display the revision history, including information like changesets, commit messages, and associated metadata, with only the entries that match the specified date.
