I sent an email on 29 of April about the need of mercurial to express
its state and history in an easy-to-parse way. I proposed xml because
it looks natural in this case. The syntax must be defined once for
good and not be broken by later updates, even if internals change a
bit.
This is REQUIRED to integrate Mercurial with all those popular bug
tracking tools. I can't do that myself, but I can do proper integration
with Redmine once this xml output is ready. Please, any volunteer ? Thanks
