Hi Stephen,

> I've got a much-improved halo merger tree class working. It works in parallel for the important stuff: the halo finding of course, as well as the halo membership comparison. The halo data is kept in a SQLite database which I think is the Right Way To Go for this kind of stuff, and I've carefully made sure the database is written to by only one thread at a time.

Awesome!  This is great news.  I will defer to your judgment on the
usage of SQLite, but it sounds like you've got a working solution.

> I'll eventually write some docs for this. I have it in the mercurial repo right now, and eventually it will be promoted to trunk, perhaps for the next point release.

That sounds great.  I'm looking forward to this!  Thanks for your hard work.

-Matt
