Please do. Some comments:

- It would be better to have relink be a "repo" command,
  e.g. "hg relink foo" to relink the repo you're in based on foo
  "hg relink" would look at the default path (and maybe first look if a
  default-relink is defined?)

- It should probably lock both repos while the extension is running

- It could use repo.store.walk() or repo.store.datafiles() to find the
  revlogs.

- Please try to separate the patches, so that it's easier to review (and
  the non-controversial bits could be applied directly)

(and CC me on your patches to get my attention)

thanks!

Benoit
