Get Individual Files from {files} Template Keyword

[Jensen, Aaron]

Is it possible to somehow get the individual files from the {files} template keyword? By default, {files} separates each file with a space.  We have a bunch of files in our repository with spaces in their names/paths, so when I can’t split that {files} list on the space character.  Is there a way to separate each file with a different character?

Awesome. Thank you.

Is there anyway to do it without creating my own style?

I tried this:

hg log --template "changeset = \"{files}\\n\"\nfile = \"{file}\\n\""

But that didn't work. Can I only specify the format for {file} in a custom style?

Not currently. You can make compound expressions like

{files % "{file}\n"}

in the web templater, but the command-line templater grew some cruft
that prevents it.
