I'm (ab)using Mercurial to manage thousands of files that change often, but I'd like to be able to view the log (hg log) without having my term filled with all of the filenames that changed on each commit. hg log -q is a little too quiet, since I need to see the descriptions. Is there a flag I'm missing for hg log?

1hg log does not show list of files in my installation. What version of hg are you using? – Michal Sznajder Nov 09 '10 at 20:18

If `hg log` doesn't show the changed files you can do `hg log --verbose` or `hg log -v`. – David Johnstone Jul 06 '11 at 23:02

It sounds as if you might have the verbose flag turned on. You can check by running hg showconfig and looking for a line like ui.verbose=true.
There are a few ways you can fix it:
- remove that line from the offending configuration file (Mercurial can use several, and they vary by OS: use
hg help configto list the possibilities). override the flag in your repository's
.hg\hgrcor your private Mercurial configuration (Mercurial.inior~/.hgrc): add the following lines to it:[ui]
verbose=falseclear the verbose flag on the commandline:
hg log --config ui.verbose=false.
