‘chg’ is a client for Mercurial's command server, which helps avoiding 
Python's inherent startup overhead. It doesn't need any particular setup 
and my be aliased to ‘hg’ for all practical purposes.

The command server mode is particularly useful when querying a 
repository from other processes (scripts, or an imaginary “MaHgit” ;-))

The experts will know more, but I suppose this could still offer faster 
startup time than an oxidized Mercurial.
