Mercurial log allows you to restrict the query to branches:
hg log -b default
But Mercurial glog does not
hg glog -b default => error message
Is there any way to filter glog like this? Perhaps an ugly Perl or Python script operating on
hg glog –style xml | perl UglyScript
I am looking at revsets, but haven’t figured out a way to do this.

By the way, why I want to do this, in case there is a better way: my teammates think I am too verbose and do too many fine grain commits, so I want to give them a way to filter out my commit messages from hg glog. I’ll put my stuff on a branch. I’d like them to be able to ignore my branch (or tag, or label, or …) (At the moment I am editing history at every push to the project masrter, which is wasteful and fragile.)
“hg log -b” is fine, but really want glog.
Ah ha! I found part of the answer:
hg glog –r ‘branch(default)’
hg log –r ‘branch(default)’
works just like
hg log –b default
except that they are in opposite order.
(Unlike http://markmail.org/thread/43yvy7mljdfgp75h which says that -b x == -r ‘branch(x)’
hg log –r ‘reverse(branch(default))’
revsets rule!
