How to get a list of changed files before pulling from the main repository?

I need to get a list of changed files from before actually pulling the new/modified files from the main repository.开发者_Python百科

How can I do that?

Thanks.

Use incoming command:

To tell us what changes the hg pull command would pull into the repository, without actually pulling the changes in

hg incoming 

Also, for remote repository, using --bundle avoids downloading the changesets twice if the incoming is followed by a pull.
