Hey,

I've knocked together a web interface which you can see here:
<http://mccormick.cx/bzrweb/>
That's on my 64k ISDN link so please don't rev it too hard.

To install it yourself, grab the patch by clicking [diff] next to
Martin's last commit in my branch (number 294) which will give you the
exact same output as `bzr diff -r 294` on my own machine. You can also
browse directly to this address:
<http://mccormick.cx/bzrweb/index.py/diff/head/294/text>

You can view diffs between arbitrary revisions by clicking the revision
number first (to make that revision 'current') and then clicking [diff]
against whichever one you want.

You need to symlink bzrweb under the bzr directory to your apache
directory. For example:

`ln -s ~/work/bzr/bzrweb/ /var/www/`

You also need to make sure that whatever user apache runs as has write
access to it's base dir (in this case www-data has write access to 
/var/www/) that should be default, but I had some trouble on my own
server so I thought I'd put it here. Oh yeah and
~/work/bzr/bzrweb/index.py should be runnable by whatever apache runs
as.

Fixme/todos: 
- stop it creating a .bzr.log file in /var/www/ and put that output
  somewhere useful
- make a config file to allow browsing of arbitrary bzr repositories,
  not just bzr's own repository
- change the bzrweb.css file to make it much prettier
- Use BaseHTTPServer if apache is unavailable so people can publish
  their code anyway.

Hope this is useful to someone.

Best regards,

Chris.
