How to get a summary of commits in Mercurial

mercurial

Solution

`hg help log` + `hg help diff` + `hg help revsets` + `hg help templating` `hg help dates` + bash

- Date of first commit|last commit

Initial commit always has rev 0, latest is always tip

`hg log -r 0 --template "{date|date}\n"`

`hg log -r tip --template "{date|date}\n"`

- Number of days worked: number of days with non-zero number of commits

`hg log --template "{date(date,'%d%m%y')}\n" | sort -u | wc -l`

- Activity summary by day - just number of commits

`hg log -r "date('YYYY-MM-DD')" --template "{.}\n" | wc -l`

number of lines changed (first ugly draft iteration: "feci quod potui, faciant meliora potentes")

`hg diff --stat -r "first(date('YYYY-MM-DD'))" -r "last(date('YYYY-MM-DD'))"`

Sample output of such diff

 footer.php     |    2 +-
 functions.php  |   24 +++++++++-

Note 2: Less than hour for preparing and testing results!!!
