Luckily, Mercurial has integer revision numbers too :) It is a nice thing to have when you just want to diff head againts something a little older without searching the hash id. i.e.: hg diff -r 149 -r 147 -p vs hg diff -r 984d0a47dffa -r b9340f23777b -p However, I'm against using revisions as versions. > -- David
