C++-style comments will break some C compilers. I'm not sure what Mercurial's
policy is with that but I just wanted to point it out.

PyBytes_AsString(PyUnicode_AsLatin1String(string))

That doesn't strike me as a particularly recommendable thing to do, unless you
are sure that latin-1 is ok for every unicode -> `char *` conversion inside the
C extensions.
(that's why I suggested that you use the abstract "%" operator instead in the
repr() implementation)

Antoine.
