Future development on hgweb and blame

[Jun Wu]

About "hgweb":

The hgweb stuff looks promising! Finally we may have a decent
cross-platform GUI.

It would be greeeeeeeat if everything can be done via API.

I'm dreaming about a decent cross-platform GUI, say a single-page
React app, drawing a decent DAG using some fancy js library, and
a user can just drag commits around to complete a rebase.


About "blame":

I'm also thinking about the "blame a revset" idea recently. It's
related to these 2 items in the plan:

- Calculate blame from tip to base
- Automatically skip revisions

I think it's possible to merge these 2 into just blaming a linear revset.
By liner I mean a line exists in the DAG to contain all the revsions
from that revset.

Then it will become:

- Calculate blame from max(revset) to min (revset)
- Skip revs not in the revset

I think it's not too hard to implement and since I want the feature
myself, I may want to throw something in the list soon(TM). But if
you have a more solid plan on this, I can work on other stuff.
