Mercurial changegroup hook: repository URL

Question

How can I, on a Mercurial repository server, figure out the current repository URL or at least name (subpath) in a changegroup — or somewhat equivalent — hook? I'm running HgWeb on IIS.

$HG_URL returns the pushers URL, not the receiving repository's. $HG_SOURCE only returns serve.

Context: I'm trying to write a changegroup hook for Jenkins using /mercurial/notifyCommit?url=<url> that tells Jenkins to perform an SCM poll, and if I can't get this to work, I have to do about 50 cURL calls (once for every repository on the server) on every changegroup trigger, and then remember to maintain this list in hgweb.config for all eternity.

Your hook will be executed inside the root folder of that specific repository, you can use the following command in bash to get the current folder name:

${PWD##*/}

As per Ton's answer, this is what I ended up doing since I'm on Windows:

changegroup.jenkins.cmd:

@for /f "delims=\" %%a in ("%CD%") do @set TOPMOST=%%~nxa
@curl.exe "http://jenkins/mercurial/notifyCommit?url=http://hgweb/%TOPMOST%" -s -S
