hg-tortise looks good, but 'hg view' looks a lot like QGit, which is not 
completely the role kdesvn fits into.  While both 'hg view' and QGit are 
nice tools, kdesvn can spawn editors for files, based on your KDE mime 
association, reports the working-tree status (IMHO) more effectively, 
provides (IMHO) easier or more intuitive access to commands that modify 
the working tree or repository, and focuses less on the history, which 
ends up making it more (IMHO) committer-orientented.

It needn't be a stand-alone application either.  A hg-tortise-like add-on 
to dolphin or konqueror could fill the role of kdesvn.
