I'm writing my blog system(django), and my blog files are VCSed by mercurial,
I want get files create/update time, how could I do this by using commandline or python?
edit: this is a example:
$ SOME_COMMAND
xxx.txt 2010-12-13-04:12:12 2010-12-14:04:12:12
xyx.txt 2010-12-13-04:12:12 2010-12-14:04:12:12
xxy.txt 2010-12-13-04:12:12 2010-12-14:04:12:12
yxx.txt 2010-12-13-04:12:12 2010-12-14:04:12:12
yyx.txt 2010-12-13-04:12:12 2010-12-14:04:12:12
You could use hg log
temp $ mkdir test
temp $ cd test
test $ hg init .
test $ cp ../a.py .
test $ hg add a.py
test $ mate a.py
test $ hg commit -m "added file"
test $ hg commit a.py -m "changed file"
test $ hg log
1[tip] 9c2bcca8ff10 2010-10-27 20:04 -0700 aranjan
changed file
0 d4f0137215c2 2010-10-27 20:04 -0700 aranjan
added file
test $ hg log a.py
1[tip] 9c2bcca8ff10 2010-10-27 20:04 -0700 aranjan
changed file
0 d4f0137215c2 2010-10-27 20:04 -0700 aranjan
added file
$ hg log -l1 --template "{date|isodate}\n" specific-file
2010-08-18 21:00 -0400
$ hg log -l1 --template "{date|isodate}\n" # latest changeset
2010-10-20 09:48 -0400
[alias]
# last commit (ci being an alias for commit/check-in)
lastci = log -l1 --template "{date|localdate|rfc822date}\n"
# unless I'm misunderstanding, this will convert the date in the changeset to
# your local timezone, then display as per rfc822
$ hg lastci specific-file
Wed, 18 Aug 2010 21:00:46 -0400
$ hg lastci # latest changeset
Wed, 20 Oct 2010 09:48:29 -0400
To get the most recent modification time of a file:
hg log --template '{date}' -l 1 path/to/file
and to get the creation time:
hg log --template '{date}' -r 0:tip -l 1 README
Example output:
$ hg log --template '{date}' -r 0:tip -l 1 README
1115154970.028800
$ hg log --template '{date}' -l 1 README
1255462070.025200
Those date values are unix epoc seconds followed by a dot and a timezone offset. You can pretty format them using various filters described in hg help templates like this:
$ hg log --template '{date|rfc822date}' -l 1 README
