I think there are lots of good reasons to have a richly indexed data 
store.  I implemented something similar to the OP for doing text 
searches across multiple repositories (wanted to look up bug id's when a 
bug-fix may have touched one or multiple of many repositories).  The sql 
lookup made the results immediate, but it would have been unusable had I 
merely searched with the mercurial keyword search.  At the time I 
believed that RhodeCode wasn't immediately usable for what I wanted, but 
it felt like it should have been.  It also feels like RhodeCode should 
be capable of what the OP wants (or at least an implementation would 
seem at home in RhodeCode).
