I dunno, they all seem to have their share of large annoying warts...

BTW, have you used mercurial for real?  When I tried it out, it didn't
seem to handle file-renaming in any sane manner (as far as I could
tell, it just modelled renaming as add+delete, which utterly destroys
merging), and that's a pretty fatal flaw.

I was kinda hoping codeville would evolve into something cool... it
seemed promising but immature when I looked at it.
