Upgrade from 1.9.1. to 1.9.2 seemed to work well on my machine.  Stability wise 
there are a couple bugs that I need to report (may take a couple days to get 
those in).  These might be windows x64 specific as my linux and x86 testing 
didn't show any issues, but I haven't used them nearly as much (day to day 
usage is win x64).

Overall, I'm very happy with this version!  Great work! Integrated repo 
registry, hg status integration (*Working Directory* entry) and all-in-one-ui 
are killer features for me.  I'm evaluating thg doing day to day work before 
unleashing it on our developers.

As for the new version as a whole I agree with the other sentiments about UI 
refinements, specifically the graph filter/search bar.  Some suggestions:

* The graph filter button should be a toggle button like the other view buttons 
(e.g. Repo registry), and be depressed when the search/filter bar is shown
* The graph filter should have by default a simple keyword search without any 
special syntax (i.e. 'search' should default to keyword('search')) and  all 
advanced queries be relegated to the "advanced" editor button.
* I see no reason for the filter checkbox.  Why would you not want to filter 
the revisions when you search?

In fact, why not change the filter bar to always on and simplify the UI? ->

|___________________________________________|[x] [search] Branch [default][...]

The [x] button would clear searches and [...] would bring up an "advanced find" 
dialog with a query editor, option to store/load saved queries, options to not 
filter results and any other revision search criteria.  The search bar should 
be as simple as a google search with a clean UI.

Obviously, that would be a 2.1 request.

Thoughts?
