hgweb: show dates recorded in obsolescence markers Dates of operations that obsolete commits are also important enough to be shown, but maybe not as important as original commit dates, that and also for brevity is why they are wrapped in a <span> with only "age" class. Provided that JS is enabled, such elements only show age (e.g. "3 months ago"), and the exact date is visible in a tooltip. Commits dates, on the other hand, show both date and age (the latter in parenthesis). Example result for f1a0933ce59e from hg-committed: obsolete: pruned by Yuya Nishihara <yuya@tcha.org> 13 days ago

cHg
===

A fast client for Mercurial command server running on Unix.

Install:

 $ make
 $ make install

Usage:

 $ chg help                 # show help of Mercurial
 $ alias hg=chg             # replace hg command
 $ chg --kill-chg-daemon    # terminate background server

Environment variables:

Although cHg tries to update environment variables, some of them cannot be
changed after spawning the server. The following variables are specially
handled:

 * configuration files are reloaded automatically by default.
 * CHGHG or HG specifies the path to the hg executable spawned as the
   background command server.

The following variables are available for testing:

 * CHGDEBUG enables debug messages.
 * CHGSOCKNAME specifies the socket path of the background cmdserver.
 * CHGTIMEOUT specifies how many seconds chg will wait before giving up
   connecting to a cmdserver. If it is 0, chg will wait forever. Default: 60
