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.
