List SIZE of mercurial changesets?

Question

Looking to quantify how much change happened in each changeset. Any quick way to list maybe kb diff between two revisions?

Answer 1

I had the same thought as @shambulator yesterday! So I've added ability to print delta size in bytes as a part of --diffstat output from my somewhat long and clean patch.py utility.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/techtonik/python-patch/master/patch.py
hg diff -c tip | python patch.py --diffstat --
 codereview/views.py | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 index.yaml          | 10 ++++++++++
 2 files changed, 38 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-), +1267 bytes

UPD: Thanks to @Gili and @mforbes there is now a ticket for Mercurial

Answer 2

hg log --stat is the command you're after. See this example:

$ hg log --stat

changeset:   12431:56e146c7beef
user:        flast
date:        Wed Jun 08 16:12:54 2011 +1000
summary:     Fix the frobulate to frob the knob correctly on tuesdays.
