The glog extension is deprecated; it can be replaced by an alias
"glog" with the value "log -G".

If you add the lines
[alias]
glog = log -G

at the top of your Mercurial.ini or hgrc (/etc/mercurial/hgrc or
~/.hgrc or whatever) and disable the glog extension, do you get the
desired output from glog as newly defined?

Best regards,
