hgview 1.13.1

a Mercurial interactive history viewer

Description

Its purpose is to easily navigate in a Mercurial repository history. It has been written with efficiency in mind, both in terms of computational efficiency and user experience efficiency.

It is written in Python.

There are two user interfaces:

• a graphical intarfece using PyQt4 and QScintilla, the
