This test file aims at test topological iteration and the various configuration it can has. $ cat >> $HGRCPATH << EOF > [ui] > logtemplate={rev}\n > EOF On this simple example, all topological branch are displayed in turn until we can finally display 0. this implies skipping from 8 to 3 and coming back to 7 later. $ hg init test01 $ cd test01 $ hg unbundle $TESTDIR/bundles/remote.hg adding changesets adding manifests adding file changes added 9 changesets with 7 changes to 4 files (+1 heads) (run 'hg heads' to see heads, 'hg merge' to merge) $ hg log -G o 8 | | o 7 | | | o 6 | | | o 5 | | | o 4 | | o | 3 | | o | 2 | | o | 1 |/ o 0 (display all nodes) $ hg log -G -r 'sort(all(), topo)' o 8 | o 3 | o 2 | o 1 | | o 7 | | | o 6 | | | o 5 | | | o 4 |/ o 0 (revset skipping nodes) $ hg log -G --rev 'sort(not (2+6), topo)' o 8 | o 3 : o 1 | | o 7 | : | o 5 | | | o 4 |/ o 0 (begin) from the other branch $ hg log -G -r 'sort(all(), topo, topo.firstbranch=5)' o 7 | o 6 | o 5 | o 4 | | o 8 | | | o 3 | | | o 2 | | | o 1 |/ o 0
