It looks like a nice improvement.

What happens when I use the latest version of pbranch on my older pbranch
repositories?

Is it sufficient to create a .hg/patchgraph file on tip, or do I have to
manually recreate all my pbranch repositories?



PS. The peditmessage should have a prominent left-margin tag as the other
