          Priority: normal
            Bug ID: 4238

           Summary: Drop "parent" field from log output (which is shown
                    when hidden changesets exist)
          Severity: bug
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Windows
          Reporter: d155601 at drdrb.com
          Hardware: PC
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 2.9.2
         Component: evolution
           Product: Mercurial

I have three changesets:

    changeset:   2:d9b3109a156a
    tag:         tip
    user:        Tom
    date:        Thu May 01 16:19:21 2014 +0100
    summary:     Third

    changeset:   1:17744d9719b5
    user:        Tom
    date:        Thu May 01 16:19:11 2014 +0100
    summary:     Second

    changeset:   0:b246c72d2299
    user:        Tom
    date:        Thu May 01 16:19:01 2014 +0100
    summary:     First

I amend the top one:

    changeset:   4:e009d58cfdd5
    tag:         tip
    parent:      1:17744d9719b5
    user:        Tom
    date:        Thu May 01 16:19:21 2014 +0100
    summary:     Third

    changeset:   1:17744d9719b5
    user:        Tom
    date:        Thu May 01 16:19:11 2014 +0100
    summary:     Second

    changeset:   0:b246c72d2299
    user:        Tom
    date:        Thu May 01 16:19:01 2014 +0100
    summary:     First

Now the top changeset shows a "parent" field.

I think this should be dropped, as it doesn't clarify matters: the user can
already see that r1 is the parent of r4.  Log output would be cleaner without
it.
