Is it possible to pull changes for just a single branch vs. the entire repository. We have parallel development on different branches and do not want changes from another build in the log. 

hg log -r %baseversion%:%releaseversion% --style changelog >> hglog.txt

I tried doing this this way but it pulled every change between the base tag and the release tag.

If you're using proper hg branches, then you should be able to use the --only-branch option:

hg log --only-branch my_branch

That will show the changesets only for a given branch.

Edit: Looks like "--only-branch" is deprecated, but depending on the version of mercurial you use it will still be there. See https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/help/log . If your mercurial is too new, you may only have the "-b"/"--branch" option.

Also, to show logs only for current branch, ou can use dot instead of current branch name hg log --branch .

    Perfect, this is what I needed, I didn't want to always remember my current branch name, as it often changes in my current workflow. – user1015214 May 02 '18 at 15:27

Funny, hg help log know nothing about "--only-branch" option, but note -b|--branch BRANCHNAME Also, for worst cases, branch() function in revsets

  • Yeah `--branch my_branch_name` worked for what I needed it for. I assumed it was a type-o There is no only command in mercurial. – themaniac27 Oct 19 '12 at 12:00
