[Python-apps-team] Bug#513183: Correct severity

I agree.

Or simply fix the extension not to choke on stderr stuff ;-)

OK.

OTOH, wouldn't the title of this bug (the cloned one) be better if it would be:

hgk/hg view fails to start when hg complains

instead of the current

hgk doesn't like it when hg complains


After all, that's what happens, and "doesn't like it" is not clear
what it means.
