Constantine,

it is customary on this list to type your replies at the bottom.

Personally I like the way TortoiseHg colors the graph. It uses the
same color for all the _nodes_ on the same named branch (and each
named branch gets its own color). Then it uses a different color for
each anonymous branch, even those that belong to the same named
branch.

Cheers,

Angel
