Question

I would like to configure our Mercurial server installation so the rss/atom feed will publish the branch name of the changeset, in addition to the standard fields (title, guid, description, author, pubDate).

Answer 1

I finally found a solution on the Mercurial mailing lists.

I had to edit templates\rss-log\changelogentry.tmpl like this:

<item>
  <title>{desc|strip|firstline|strip|escape}</title>
  <guid isPermaLink="true">{urlbase}{url}rev/{node|short}</guid>
  <description>
    <![CDATA[<i>{inbranch%branchname}{branches%branchname}</i>
    <p>{desc|strip|escape|addbreaks|nonempty}]]>
  </description>
  <files>{file_mods}</files>
  <author>{author|obfuscate}</author>
  <pubDate>{date|rfc822date}</pubDate>
</item>

And I had to add the following line to templates\rss-log\map:

branchname = '{name}'
