It appears to be broken. When it's working I'll update the web output
format to be the same as your official version. Probably I'll end up
just redirecting stdout into a buffer and getting the output from
cmd_diff(). I've just looked and my version of bzr.dev was out of date so
maybe this is fixed now - I'll still have to fix it in bzrweb.

I probably forgot to attach it.

No problem. I've done this now.

I've sort of had to copy a bit of code from commands.py for each type of
command and change all the print statements to things that make HTML
tags, but other than that everything was available.

Viewing all revisions on one page is a bit slow, but that's to be
expected I guess. I've just updated the code so it doesn't try to list
every single revision on one page, and I've moved it to a faster server:

<http://mccormickit.com/bzrweb/>

Oh yeah and I added a config file to put in multiple bzr repositories.
Your web user now needs write access to .bzr so locking can work.

If you want to get bzrweb itself just look at:

<http://mccormickit.com/bzrweb/index.py/ls/bzrweb/6>

and download each file individually.

Best regards,

Chris.
