I have local repo, and I need to view latest changes description per-file basis via web interface.
Look on examples (folder in Netbeans sources) :
I have "1", but I want "2" (where we can see latest revision desc for each file). So, I try to modify hgweb templates (https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/Theming) to reach this functionality, but in file list page template (manifest) variables to get rev desc not accessible. Only file name / size / permissions etc. available.
What can I do?
You cannot do this by just modifying templates. You'd have to iterate over the files, looking at the linkrev for the filelog revision referred to by the manifest and get the changeset message from there.
