Ok. It's sometimes difficult to guess which bug fixes are wanted on
stable and which ones are unwanted.

/me guesses (minor?) test bug fixes are unwanted on stable.

But it probably doesn't matter anyway, since Mercurial's major releases
are quite frequent anyway. Next one (1.8) is on March 1st already. At
which point this decision is already irrelevant (as the 1.7 stable
branch ends around mid Feb).

BTW, as some interested in Windows might have noticed: Steve has stopped
to produce unstable "nightlies" Windows installers for the legacy
GTK-based TortoiseHg. People interested in trying/testing unstable
TortoiseHg on Windows (which includes unstable Mercurial) need to
install the new QT based TortoiseHg:
