Description:
This command searches the specified files and revisions for a given
pattern. The pattern is specified as a Python regular expressions[1].

If the file name is not specified, the revisions starting with the
current directory are searched recursively. If the revision number is
not specified, the working copy is searched. To search the last committed
revision, use the '-r -1' or '-r last:1' option.

Unversioned files are not searched unless explicitly specified on the
command line. Unversioned directores are not searched.

When searching a pattern, the output is shown in the 'filepath:string'
format. If a revision is explicitly searched, the output is shown as
'filepath~N:string', where N is the revision number.

--include and --exclude options can be used to search only (or exclude
from search) files with base name matches the specified Unix style GLOB
pattern. The GLOB pattern an use *, ?, and [...] as wildcards, and \
to quote wildcard or backslash character literally. Note that the glob
pattern is not a regular expression.
