Oh, you can customize the output of "incoming" with the hg template
engine. Incredible flexible. Just have a look here:

I use this for example for creating the "commit log messages" for a hg
based CWS integrated via Subversion.

hg incoming --newest-first --template '{date|shortdate} {author|person}
{desc}\n' http://hg.services.openoffice.org/hg/cws/<cws>

We control the webinterface so I'm sure we can create something for you
if the above mentioned approach doesn't work.
