The documentation is stored in the docs/ directory of the repository if you prefer to read it offline.

Questions, Comments, Suggestions

The code was kind of thrown together in a few nights after I got tired of chaining three or four hg runs together to get what I wanted. I'm sure it's not perfect, so if you've got a way to improve it please add an issue and let me know.

Patches are also welcome!
