I typically use 'hg grep --all ${pattern}' to search for when a
particular comment or line of code was added. Or if I am only looking at
a particular file, I may use 'hg log -p ${file}' and search
interactively using less.

I have not had much luck with 'hg blame' on the Octave code tree because
there are often many changes in organization, indentation, formatting,
and spelling lying between the head and the actual change I am
interested in.
