Find changesets by keywords (author, files, the commit message), revision number or hash, or revset expression.
RLG-Web client: replace setTitle() with message(). Remove the title line, and make setTitle() add a message instead. Also remove setTitle() from termemu.js, because shterm.js duplicates the code.
