This is still tortoisehg development, it belongs in the same
repository.  However, it may make sense to do the initial development
in a new bitbucket repo forked from stable just so it can have it's
own wiki and issue tracker.  In fact, this is probably a good excuse
to finally move away from the "historically" named stable repository.

I was speaking of folders, not executables.  My intent is to keep hgtk
as the command line tool until the Qt port is finished.  At that point
it probably makes sense to switch to something more agnostic.  We can
have a debate about that name later.
