group extension integration as GSoC project?

[Arne Babenhauserheide]

Hi, 

Would integrating the group extension (and cleaning up its code) be a valid 
GSoC project? 

The current version is still a proof-of-concept. To be really useful it needs 
to 

* be integrated in every command which somehow shows a log (log, incoming, 
outgoing, view, tortoisehg log, ...), ideally via some deeper function which 
makes it easy for thirdparty apps to show groups and to still get a connected 
history without reimplementing group detection and 
 
* have a specialized merger for the .hggroups file to avoid bogus merge 
conflicts

Also it needs a code overhaul to clean out its many rough parts. 

Best wishes, 
Arne
PS: I wanted to ask this for a long time, but with the group extension being 
mostly my own design, it felt strange to propose it.
