I used the FB version[1] on Linux with something around 4.4-4.6.  You need  
to compile the linelog module in there too.  AFAIK, the FB version won't  
work on Windows for that reason.  You might need to update that repository  
back to somewhere around the time 4.4 was released- I'm not sure how far  
back the current code in the repo maintains compatibility.

Be aware that some UI tweaks have been done to the one in core hg, like  
defaulting to interactive mode, and giving a better indicator of where  
things will be put when running in interactive mode.
