Just a couple of quick comments:

- It doesn't seem to handle databases with multiple branches very
  well.  The source browser shows files from one branch only, and the
  timeline view shows changes from all branches.  I'd like to be able
  to specify which branch to show in the configuration file.  Is this
  something that is easy to add?

- The "Revision Log" link in the source browser shows only the latest
  change.

Apart from this, I say it's a good start.
