Hi, I'll try answer even tough I have not done any programming on hgkit for quite awhile. First of all, no, it can't just convert the bytecode for two reasons.
1. There are some C extensions bundled into mercurial (and for some reasons, they seem to create more and more of these because "it is faster??" 2. That would create a licence conflict, my goal with HgKit was to make it licence compatible with other applications, I personally dislike GPL, any version and prefer EPL, LGPL or GPL with a linking exception. Plain GPL for a library (as hgkit was intended to be) is not a good idea. The status of it, for a couple of months ago was that it could extract versions of files and read the changelog (no commit, no update, no pull/push, nothing really). As a note the immediate goal were to support "hg status" in a java- fast fashion, not having to launch a python interpreter for every call, this proved to be harder than I imagined it would be, mainly because if the .hg/ dirstate file is not up-to-date it has to be derived by looking into the repository.
