How to get recent changesets in Mercurial

I remember seeing some interesting code in one of commits but I dont remember which one is it. Is there a way to get last lets say 100 changesets so I can grep through them. Maybe my terminology is bad so Ill explain with words. Im looking for diffs ala

+cout << "hello";
-cout << "Hello";

What you literally asked for is as simple as hg log --patch --limit 100 which gets all revisions, but I upvoted @sherlock's answer using hg grep because that's what I'd do.

If you just want to search a piece of code in the history, hg grep will help.

If you want to know which commit introduce this change, use hg annotate instead.
