New feature discussions

These features are ones that are broader than would be covered by a bug report.

CaseFoldingPlan - Deal with case-insensitive filesystems and other anomalies.
OverlayRepository - Sharing partial repository stores between different repositories.
NestedRepositories - Incorporate a subset of the ForestExtension functionality into the core.
HandlingLargeFiles - thoughts on dealing with files larger than memory.
InternationalizationPlan - Support for Mercurial having all of its messages to users translated into other languages.
NewWebInterface - A rewrite of hgweb (the idea hasn't been signed off on by mpm yet).
RevlogNG - A set of changes to the revlog format to both make it smaller and contain more useful information.
PartialClone - Masking out parts of the tree so they don't show up in the working set.
TrimmingHistory - Forgetting exactly what was done in the past (but not that something was done) to save space and time.
ChangelogEncodingPlan - Being able to work with different encodings for important Mercurial features.
IncludeExcludeProposal - Extensions for the hgignore mechanisms.
ExtendedChangelog - Keeping more information in Mercurial changelogs.
NewIdeas/FileTypes - Specific merge/diff algorithms based on file types/extensions.
RenamePlan - Mostly implemented, except for good directory rename detection (?).
WindowsTestingPlan - getting the test suite to work on Windows.
ImprovingDocStrings - allowing verbose text to be hidden by default, and other goodies.
MutableHG - set of feature dedicated to gracefully handle history rewritting in mercurial
