feature requests for loggerhead

What a large thread!  I'm glad you posted, Michael.

You should look at archzoom, if you can still find a running instance
or get someone to help you set it up.  In some ways I think it's
superior to many other viewers in the density of information display
and visual elegance.

Random ideas:

 * I actually like our nested log display much more than a viz
display, and would like if loggerhead showed something similar - put
disclosure triangles next to merges and when they're opened show the
revisions that are merged in.  I think this is often easier to read
than the tram tracks.

 * The display should be more dense - loggerhead uses (i think) a
larger-than-default font, and has a lot of whitespace.  (I like
whitespace but somehow in the current theme it looks gassy rather than
elegant.)  For example in my browser window I see 19 revisions by
default of gtk+ at the url Johan gave, but only 5 of bzr.dev, and I
don't think the viewvc is too dense.

 * Maybe you should see about getting a different (virtual) host to
show off your in-development version when you have changes.

 * The 'description' field seems redundant with the revision heading.

 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad-bazaar/+bug/121133  "make link
to codebrowse more prominent"  - you can ask Tim or jml to do it if
you want.
