Adding comments to groups of changes?

[Arne Babenhauserheide]

Hi Sean, 

The groups already get merged, pulled, pushed, etc. since they are simply 
implemented as commits of the .hggroups file and are read out using hg 
annotate, so everything which pulls changes to files and the history will 
also pull groups. 

For update it would be nice to have Mercurial update to the most recent 
revision inside the group instead of to teh groups revision, though, since 
the group might be added later, and so updating to it might not always give 
the real work doen for it. 

Maybe this could more easily be done by first updating to the most current 
revision inside the group before adding the group, to make the group commit a 
child of the most recent revision in the group, so no changes to update would 
be necessary. 

But please mind the status of the code: I did this as a proof of concept. 
While I hope that the concept is good enough that I won't have to change it 
(and using it will, at the very worst, put very small changesets into your 
history which might become useless, if the concept proves flawed), there's 
always the chance that I overlooked some glaring error. 

And the log command which overwrites the default log only offers basic usage 
at the moment. 

Best wishes, 
Arne
