Tear out incoming/outgoing functionality This stuff is the most brittle part of hg-prompt, and I never use it. I don't have the will to maintain it as Mercurial constantly breaks backwards compatibility in their plugin API. At this point I regret ever writing a Mercurial extension. I'm sick of the Hamster Wheel of Backwards Incompatibility eating an hour of my life every time I stupidly decide to upgrade my software.
