I finally found a solution which was proposed to me by Simon King on the
mercury mailing list.

It seems impossible to run hg log from the commandline in order to
obtain a output similar/identical to «git  log».

There is however a two step procedure.

    -  write a style file (I attach the correct one below)

    -  then run hg log --style /path/to/hgstyle 

And voila!
