In Mercurial it's possible to hg status only the modified/added/removed files by doing:
hg st -m
hg st -a
hg st -r
Is it possible to obtain the same behaviour for the diff command? From the man page, it seems not.

A:
One option would be to use something like this:
hg status -mar --no-status | xargs hg diff
The --no-status flag insures that just the file name is sent to STDOUT.

That won't work if you (wrongly!) have spaces in your files names. Then you need to use `--print0` and `-0` in hg and xargs, respectively.

If the `color` option is set, then both `hg` commands must also include `--color=never`.

Thank you. I've created aliases for these commands and I'm now happy. It's a pity `hg diff -m` is not available, though.
