How can I filter tortoisehg (Mercurial) to not show branches containing part of a string?-CodePudding

Our Mercurial/HG repo has a fair amount of wip feature branches, and I would like to be able to create a cleaner view and filter out any branches containing part of a string.

I know I can specify which branches to show, but I would rather like to be able to set a search string that is excluded, since all of those branches include something like feature_xx

Something a long the lines of: not branch_contains("feature"), possibly using regex? Hiding them from the history/hierarchy view individually would also be an ok solution.

How do I do this in TortoiseHG?

Preface

You have to understand: Mercurial per se and TortoiseHG are slightly different products with own interfaces (CLI vs GUI) and toolsets due to nature

Face

If you want only hide some subtrees from main window of Workbench (top-right area), you can activate Filter Toolbar (View - Filter Toolbar or Ctrl S)

and apply (previously tested in pure CLI or write and debug in-place) revset (

in repo with branch-list

hg branches
1.0.x                       2193:20739d2244a1
default                     2190:efadd9becb86
0.10.x                      2118:4a18ab4b2fed (inactive)

I removed from view not only existing release-branches 0.10.x 1.0.x, but also all future releases, which will follow the same pattern of naming (trailing "0.x")
