As the person who actually named the extension in the first place, I 
think the 'hg' should stay as well. Just the name 'watchman' is really 
ambiguous -- as Martin said, does it refer to the watchman service 
itself or to the integration layer?

As far as the argument to convention goes, I strongly believe 
conventions should be overridden by common sense if necessary.
