It was, good catch. I've fixed it now, and it should work from now on.

On Bitbucket we have outsourced common hg operations into a mixin  
class, so you can do something like:

class Repository(models.Model, repo.RepoMixin):
	...

repo = Repository(...)
repo.get_files('tip')
repo.get_changeset('tip')

With the code I provided you with from 'cx', you should be able to  
whip up something like that in about an hour. Otherwise, it's possible  
that this will be one of the components that we might open source  
later (needs to be more abstract than it is now.)
