json output using mercurial templates

[Matt Hawley]

With the basic conditionals what were you thinking? We'd love to adopt this for doing easy paging via the CodePlex web site vs the manual manipulation we currently do of hg.exe.

Hopefully I'll get around to making the template language more powerful shortly. I plan to add:

This shouldn't be too hard to do with the simple parser tech I added for revsets.
