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

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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