  $ echo second > second

  $ hg add second

  $ hg commit -m second -d '1000000 0' -u 'User Name <user@hostname>'

  created new head

  $ echo third > third

  $ hg add third

  $ hg mv second fourth

  $ hg commit -m third -d "2020-01-01 10:01"

  $ hg log --template '{join(file_copies, ",\n")}\n' -r .

  fourth (second)

  $ hg log --template '{file_copies % "{source} -> {name}\n"}' -r .

  second -> fourth

Quoting for ui.logtemplate

  $ hg tip --config "ui.logtemplate={rev}\n"

  8

  $ hg tip --config "ui.logtemplate='{rev}\n'"

  8

  $ hg tip --config 'ui.logtemplate="{rev}\n"'

  8

Make sure user/global hgrc does not affect tests

  $ echo '[ui]' > .hg/hgrc

  $ echo 'logtemplate =' >> .hg/hgrc

  $ echo 'style =' >> .hg/hgrc

Default style is like normal output:

  $ hg log > log.out

  $ hg log --style default > style.out

  $ cmp log.out style.out || diff -u log.out style.out

  $ hg log -v > log.out

  $ hg log -v --style default > style.out

  $ cmp log.out style.out || diff -u log.out style.out

  $ hg log --debug > log.out

  $ hg log --debug --style default > style.out

  $ cmp log.out style.out || diff -u log.out style.out

Revision with no copies (used to print a traceback):

  $ hg tip -v --template '\n'

Compact style works:

  $ hg log --style compact
