I think scm-manager is a good step in the right direction. That said, it 
sits on top of hgweb which has an outdated UI that desperately needs 
updating.

I filed http://bz.selenic.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4342 asking for visual 
diffs. I'm no designer so I can't really help with this effort but it 
would be nice if we threw some UI designers at this. Baring that, simply 
copy the competition. They did an excellent job.
