well, it's still a very early release.

what I know is missing from hgk is :

 - ability to place tags
 - a real diff at merge points
 - the color of the branches of the graph
 - I think the graph algorithm is better in hgk

On the other hand it's definitely faster than hgk on big repositories and
seem to use less memory.

Another feature is the ability to filter revisions based on the files
that have been modified.
