[Python-apps-team] Bug#606678: Please package mercurial 1.7.2

[Raúl Sánchez Siles]

Package: mercurial
Version: 1.6.4-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: experimental

Hello:

  First of all, thanks for your work in mercurial packaging. I wouldn't like 
this bug to be seen as rant but just as a polite reminder.

  According to [0], Mercurial 1.7.2 has been released and there are some 
interesting features (and bugfixes) on it. I know we are on freeze and I don't 
expect this version available on testing nor sid soon. Even with that, I'd 
appreciate having the possibility of at least being able to upgrade to an 
experimental package.

  Thanks for your attention.

  Regards,
