Is this only for trunk? Any way to make this work for other branches?

IIRC bzr-svn is likewise only able to track one branch at a time.

Even if you can add branches manually, you'll have to figure out a way
to automate getting the new tags branches (tags/* are explicitly
changing branches in Asterisk. My script makes tags of their heads). And
if you add branches manually: does hgsvn know how to share history
between different branches?

However: can you build from that repository?

Potential issues:

* The generated version.h has odd values. IIRC it makes res_snmp.c go
  mad (or is that only in 1.4)?
* svn:externals, as already mentioned.

With git: basically install gitweb and (at least in Debian) symlink the
.git directory to under /var/cache/git/

$ ls -l /var/cache/git/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 2008-08-20 13:21 asterisk.git -> /home/tzafrir/Proj/Asterisk/Git/asterisk/.git
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 2008-08-20 13:21 libpri.git -> /home/tzafrir/Proj/Asterisk/Git/libpri/.git

Then look at http://localhost/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi

$ time git blame channels/chan_sip.c | cat >/dev/null
real    0m12.105s
