This reminds how pleasant it was to use hg as a git front-end (via an extention[0]) - compared to using the git cli. I think I'll have to revisit and see if that's still the case, and if I can make it work with feature branches etc.

Also looks like there's finally python3 support in the recent mercurial 5.0 release.
