Beginner, very simple hook question

[doahh]

Thanks for the reply Steve. I am using Debian and so have mercurial 1.01,
running the command you mention gives me an error:

hg status: option -e not recognized

I have however managed to get what I want to do, done. I have used the
output from:

hg log -v -r $HG_NODE

which gives me, among other things, a list of the changed file names which I
parse out in the shell script. I am then using:

hg cat -r tip $filePath

It seems to work OK but if you can see a problem with it then I would be
happy to hear about it.
