It's just a left over from when the filter fields were in a separate
dialog box. I'll just remove the menu option.

thanks,
I'll add these request to our tracker here :
http://www.logilab.org/projects/hgview
I already intended to do 1,2 and 3.
For 1,2 I just wanted to be able to call meld (or other tool) with 2
revisions. But I'm not sure how the app should behave when selecting a
single revision
4 is nice (didn't know I could do that with hgk)
5 will probably be low priority mostly because I don't (yet) use named
branches
