Apparently my answer was a little too flip, as Gary just stopped me in the hall to make sure I wasn't pissed at him. :-) What I meant was "get used to this being the standard way of doing things"; I agree that there are certain cases where `diff -c` is more readable than `diff -u` though in my experience they are rare. I leave it as an exercise to the reader how to script up a for loop using `hg list`, $PARENT, $CHILD and $DIFF. -- John http://blogs.sun.com/jbeck
