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 b
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.
