I'm actually working with '.../branchlog/<shortnode>/<branchname>'.
The corresponding function branchlog() in hgweb/webcommands.py
extracts the 'file' part of the req.form as the branchname.

I could have used '.../log/<shortnode>/<branchname>, as the revisions
link in the files page does with the filename, but that makes it hard
to distinguish a file from a branch I guess. (ex.: what if there is a
file and a branch with the same name ?)

In fact I think it should be '.../branchlog/<branchname>'. And
properly getting the 'branchname' part out of the req.form. I can use
this form already, and extract the 'node' part of the req.form as the
branchname. But that's not quite correct, isn't it ? So I'll have to
do some more studying to have a 'branch' part of it's own in the
req.form.
