1. Overview

This extension allows you to use git-style suffixes to refer to the ancestors of a specific revision.

For example, if you can refer to a revision as foo, then:

1. foo^N = Nth parent of foo:

2. foo~N = Nth first grandparent of foo

So hg log -r tip^^ or hg log -r tip~2 will display the grandparent of tip.

2. Configuration

Configure your .hgrc to enable the extension by adding the following lines:

[extensions]
parentrevspec = /path/to/parentrevspec.py
