This is the default query mode. Having read the previous section, one would be forgiven for thinking “what is the point?”. Well the main reason for using it is if you want to look at a revision's change log before selecting it. This can be particularly useful when the tagged revision that you attempted to select in the parent Monotone Browser window is not unique on the currently selected branch and something like the following dialog window pops up.
Of course one could simply use the Revisions combobox in the above dialog window, but in most cases one would not know the id of the revision that you are after.
Once you have completed your simple query, a list of matching revisions will be displayed in the Revisions panel. When one of these revisions is selected, its full change log is displayed in the Details panel on the right. Left clicking on the OK button will dismiss the Advanced Find dialog window and load the selected revision into the parent Monotone Browser window.

Double left clicking on a revision will select that revision and then proceed as if the OK button had been pressed. |
