It it possible to update specific directory to old revision in Mercurial?

Question

I tried to update some files to old revision in many ways, but I haven't found yet. (not permanently, just temporarily updating for testing)

For example, the following is OK in SVN.

svn up -r 100 foo.cpp
U    foo.cpp

But in Mercurial, 'up' command doesn't permit file name argument.

Only is it possible to update entire source tree in Mercurial?

You'd have to use hg revert:

hg revert -r 100 foo.cpp

Note that this gives you local changes, as can be seen by running hg diff.

See hg help revert for more info.
