Potential extensions

Note that most of those are actually to consider for code repository overall, thus could be interesting for Git too.

from mercurial import hg, ui

repo = hg.repository(ui.ui(), '.')

for r in repo:
  ctx = repo[r]
  l = 0
  for f in ctx:
    l += ctx[f].data().count('\n')
    # ctx.data() returns the text of the file
  print r, l

• consider templating system in conjunction with the theming system to directly output content with its interface? (RSS fee reader, IdeaOntology, Wiki links, ...)
• code timeline of code-repo generated with code-repo.plt to stay coherent with wiki timeline
• other visualization for genifer project

Note

My notes on Tools gather what I know or want to know. Consequently they are not and will never be complete references. For this, official manuals and online communities provide much better answers.
