Hello
When I looked at what revision control system to select back in December
Mercurial was the best candidate but it lacked a Eclipse IDE integration.
To solve that I have spent part of my free time since then to make one
and yesterday I made my first public release. I find mercurial easy and
fun to work with so the trip has been a happy one, the biggest problem
has been in Eclipse Plugin world and that Java stuff, It has been a while
since I coded any Java and Eclipse has a lot of it's own classes for
me to discover.
Here is a link for people wanting to look at it

Now I have a few questions that I need help with now when the first
public release of Mercurial Eclipse (0.1.40) is ready for simple daily usage
and that is:
Q1: What are good features to implement and "must have" features in daily
mercurial usage. The only project I have used Mercurial on is this one
so my Mercurial knowlage is lacking.
Currently I have found out that I needed these (and implemented them)
Ready:
* hg init (to create a repository)
* hg commit (All files)
* hg add <file/dir>
* hg remove <file/dir>
* hg diff <file/dir>
* hg status (to show lable decorators)
* hg view (Only on the project)
During my release I found out that hg tag is also needed, now I need
help with making the list bigger, for example if hg clone useful to do
from inside an IDE, and how do you in that case expect to do it :)
Discussion might be of topic so if you have anything "off topic" there is a trac with a wiki and in it a roadmap
where think like this can be added/discussed and prioritized (And please add tickets if you like).

or discussed with me directly using spamfilter _at_ zingo _dot_ org
Q2: Another question I want to ask is the usage of the mercurial name and symbols/Images,
"can I" or even "should I" use the same logo to make it more obvious that it is for "mercurial" or should I use my own
graphical profile.
