hg booklog: log changesets not yet merged to mainline

In my workflow, I use changeset evolution and lots of feature bookmarks. I often want to see what the state of a feature bookmark is. This is easy in git (git log from..to) but doesn’t seem to be so easy in hg. Since my bookmarks are of the form bug-XXX-short-desc, I most often want to match on the bug number. So I’ve added the following to my hgrc file:

[alias]
booklog = log -r "reverse(ancestor(tip, bookmark('re:$1'))::bookmark('re:$1') and not ancestor(tip, bookmark('re:$1')))"

which allows:

$ hg booklog 915312
