            Bug ID: 5924
           Summary: 'hg verify' output is a bit confusing
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: stable branch
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: bug
          Priority: wish
         Component: Mercurial
          Assignee: bugzi...@mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: jef...@josefsipek.net
                CC: mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org

Just run 'hg verify' on any repo:

$ hg verify
checking changesets
checking manifests
crosschecking files in changesets and manifests
checking files
500 files, 2035 changesets, 2622 total revisions

The last line is a bit confusing since to most users the terms "revision",
"changeset", and "commit" are interchangeable.

I'm guessing that "revisions" here has something to do with revlog entries
instead of commits - which are labeled as "changesets" in the output.  Sadly, I
don't have a good suggestion for a replacement term.



$ hg version -v
