It seems that I did not explain myself clearly enough

As far as I know, there are at least 2 possibilities of branching:[1]

    -  using named branches

    -  using bookmarks.

And I think it would be wise to stick to one of theses possibilities
that is not mixing named branches with bookmarks, but this is just my
personal impression.

Now if you chose named branches as I do, consider the following example

hg log -G gives


o  changeset:   148:aab09c89a511
|  branch:      Uwe
|  parent:      145:2c468b090b4b
|  user:        Uwe Brauer <oub at mat.ucm.es>
|  date:        Sat Jan 30 18:34:18 2016 +0000
|  summary:     Checkin README.md from Ern branch
|
| @  changeset:   147:12a0e10e0c63
| |  branch:      Ern
| |  user:        Uwe Brauer <oub at mat.ucm.es>
| |  date:        Sat Jan 30 17:57:14 2016 +0000
| |  summary:     Minor upgrade, README

| o  changeset:   146:8432f47039de
|/   branch:      Ern
|    user:        Uwe Brauer <oub at mat.ucm.es>
|    date:        Fri Jan 29 17:21:02 2016 +0000
|    summary:     Add information to README.md
|

It is displayed in a tree form. The question is now, suppose I would chose
bookmarks for branching not named branches, I look for a possibility
that

hg log -G --some-option-or-template

would give


o  changeset:   148:aab09c89a511
|  bookmark:      Uwe
|  parent:      145:2c468b090b4b
|  user:        Uwe Brauer <oub at mat.ucm.es>
|  date:        Sat Jan 30 18:34:18 2016 +0000

And that seems not to be possible if I have understood the answers
correctly

     one could consider, cloning and anonymous branching, also as
     branching which gives 4 possible mode.s
