hg parents

show the parents of the working directory or revision (DEPRECATED)

Print the working directory’s parent revisions. If a revision is given via -r/–rev, the parent of that revision will be printed. If a file argument is given, the revision in which the file was last changed (before the working directory revision or the argument to –rev if given) is printed.

This command is equivalent to:

hg log -r "p1()+p2()" or
hg log -r "p1(REV)+p2(REV)" or
hg log -r "max(::p1() and file(FILE))+max(::p2() and file(FILE))" or
hg log -r "max(::p1(REV) and file(FILE))+max(::p2(REV) and file(FILE))"

See `hg summary` and `hg help revsets` for related information.

Returns 0 on success.
