Hmm. I like my log to look like this:

    o  cs at cskk.id.au cs.deco: @contextual: add a doctest
    |  2019-10-12 15:27 +1100 20532:f7f2739434df<-d2696c9ab09d
    |
    o  cs at cskk.id.au cs.deco: new @contextual decorator to turn a simple function into a context manager; @strable: mention context manager requirement and @contextual as workaround
    |  2019-10-12 11:51 +1100 20531:d2696c9ab09d<-80c847ea3851
    |
    o    cs at cskk.id.au merge later ==> default: split output pipeline code from cs.alet, publish as cs.pipeline
    |\   2019-10-08 09:33 +1100 20530:80c847ea3851<-20502:711c7c7d7a29 20529:787bce45cd8d
    | |
    | o  cs at cskk.id.au cs.app.pilfer: simplify test
    | |  2019-10-08 09:32 +1100 20529:787bce45cd8d<-ac5a75cf61f3 [later]
    | |
    | o  cs at cskk.id.au cs.app.pilfer: clean lint, drop python 2 support; more to do still
    | |  2019-10-07 16:46 +1100 20528:ac5a75cf61f3<-e2a7a780690e [later]

which is done with this template string:

    '{author|email} {desc|firstline}\n{date|isodate} {rev}:{node|short}<-{ifeq(p2node|short,"000000000000",p1node|short,join(parents))}{ifeq(branch,"default",""," [{branch}]")}{ifeq(activebookmark,"","","@{activebookmark}")}{ifeq(count(tags),0,""," ({join(tags)})")}\n\n'

Have a look at the {ifeq(...)} stuff, it should let you do what you 
want. For example, the above writes this:

    |  2019-10-20 20:54 +1100 1487:339f747c8851<-44771848ccdb [dev]@development (tip)

for a commit with a branch and a bookmark.
