[dev] dropbox dmenu mirror with feature branches instead of separate pull requestes

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but at most it's an
interesting experiment.

For the following reasons...

- It's easier to maintain and update separate versions/features using
  vcs branches rather then separate pull request files. (unless all the
  pull requestes posted are generated by vcs systems, but in that case we
  should at most publish the corresponding branches)
- by merging branches you can less easily mix featuresets
- tested and committed source feels less safe and robust then pull requestes
  which may not always apply or function as expected
- I personally like dropbox and am not interested in learning hg

...I made a dropbox-based dmenu mirror @ https://dropboxhub.com/Dieterbe/dmenu

The master branch contains an exact copy of the official hg repository
(using the hg-dropbox bridge)
separate branches are made for the separate pull requestes.

I'm not sure if other folks like dropbox, but at most the idea of
maintaining alternate versions through vcs branches seems pretty
beneficial to me.
