+>> I changed the by `mercurial.pm` recorded commit messages and the `rcs_recentchanges` logic to include more information, to emulate the `git.pm` behaviour regarding name presentation on RecentChanges. I don't have anything more to add at the moment, so if the code passes review, I'm done, and I tag this page as "patch". [Final patch version as per this page at my hg repo](http://510x.se/hg/program/ikiwiki/file/bc0e2f838fe3/Plugin/mercurial.pm) ([raw format](http://46.239.104.5:81/hg/program/ikiwiki/raw-file/bc0e2f838fe3/Plugin/mercurial.pm)).

 >> Yes, right now the long and ugly OpenID strings, e.g. `https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id?id=AItOawmUIes3yDLfQME0uvZvJKDN0NsdKPx_PTw`, gets recorded as author and are shown as `id [www.google.com/accounts/o8]` in RecentChanges.

+>>> I adapted some logic from `git.pm`. `hg` only has a single commiter name field, whereas `git` has both `GIT_AUTHOR_NAME` and `GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL`. The behaviour can be emulated by encoding nick and commit medium into commiter name as "`https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id?id=AItOawmUIes3yDLfQME0uvZvJKDN0NsdKPx_PTw <Daniel@web>`" and parsing this out as necessary when `rcs_recentchanges` is called. *Done* --[[Daniel Andersson]]
