Mercurial popularity is stagnant

[cowwoc]

This is a real and legitimate need. Without a web interface, we lose all 
visual context to our discussions.

I can't imagine not being able to annotate bug reports, automated build 
systems, code reviews to a code repository, branch or a specific section 
of code. I can't imagine not being able to annotate these links with 
discussions. Having these conversations by emails, with text diffs is a 
huge step backward, so much so that I consider having such discussions 
are impossible.

I'll say it again: this isn't a nice to have. It's a very strong *need*.
