filtering changelog messages - potention extension for hgweb?

[Arne Babenhauserheide]

Hi, 

Did I understand it correctly that this extension turns bug IDs into links to 
the bugtracker? 

From what I see in its docstring it allows for replacing any kind of input 
(regexp based) with a string built from a static string, a base url and some 
part of the input. 

And it sounds quite interesting to me (but might have been drowned by the 1.1 
release). 

And I like it that the code is short and clean. 

Can you post an example for a .hgrc entry which does a simple replacement? 

Best wishes, 
Arne
