I think you mis-read the help. The "x" and "y" placeholders in the help
text are other filesets. So you can do

  $ hg locate "set:exec() - grep(svn)"

to find executable files that does not contain the string "svn".

For comparing files in different revisions I would use 'hg manifest'
like this:

  $ diff <(hg manifest -r default) <(hg manifest -r stable)

If your shell doesn't understand the <(...) construct for creating a
pipe for the standard output, then you can always create two files using
normal direction.
