Alias Extension

This extension is currently being distributed along with Mercurial.

Author: Brendan Cully

$/!\$ In Mercurial 1.3 and newer, this is no longer an extension; the functionality (same as before) is now available from core Mercurial.

Define your own shortcuts for Mercurial's command-line user interface.

Add the following lines to a hgrc to add a llog command:

[alias]
# short log
llog = log --limit 10

(In 1.2.1 and earlier, you also need to activate the extension from the [extensions] section.)
