I made the same remark to Senthil on IRC, and came out that web
frontend for hg.p.o doesn't allow for a nice way to specify a branch
(different than 'default'), it's something like
hg.python.org/cpython/<last cset id on a given branch>/path/to/file.py
which is almost always outdated :)

What do we use to provide the web part of hg.p.o? maybe we can just
ask the developers of this tool to provide (or advertize) a proper way
to select a branch. If some can provide me some info, I can do the
"ask the devs" part.

Cheers,
