This should only change semantics in the specific case of a tag/branch conflict where the tag wasn't done on the branch with the same name. Previously, branch(whatever) would resolve to the branch of the tag in that case, whereas now it will resolve to the branch of the name. The previous behaviour, while documented, seemed very counter-intuitive to me. An alternate approach would be to introduce a new revset such as branchname() or namedbranch(). While this would retain backwards compatibility, the distinction between it and branch() would not be readily apparent to users. The most intuitive behaviour would be to have branch(x) require 'x' to be a branch name, and something like branchof(x) or samebranch(x) do what branch(x) currently does. Unfortunately, our backwards compatibility guarantees prevent us from doing that. Please note that while 'hg tag' guards against shadowing a branch, 'hg branch' does not. Besides, even if it did, that wouldn't solve the issue of conversions with such tags and branches...

Mercurial allows you to customize output of commands through
templates. You can either pass in a template from the command
line, via the --template option, or select an existing
template-style (--style).
You can customize output for any "log-like" command: log,
outgoing, incoming, tip, parents, heads and glog.
Four styles are packaged with Mercurial: default (the style used
when no explicit preference is passed), compact, changelog,
and xml.
Usage::
$ hg log -r1 --style changelog
A template is a piece of text, with markup to invoke variable
expansion::
$ hg log -r1 --template "{node}\n"

Strings in curly braces are called keywords. The availability of
keywords depends on the exact context of the templater. These
keywords are usually available for templating a log-like command:
.. keywordsmarker
The "date" keyword does not produce human-readable output. If you
want to use a date in your output, you can use a filter to process
it. Filters are functions which return a string based on the input
variable. Be sure to use the stringify filter first when you're
applying a string-input filter to a list-like input variable.
You can also use a chain of filters to get the desired output::
$ hg tip --template "{date|isodate}\n"
