launch Sapling Web GUI on localhost

Sapling Web is a collection of web-based tools including Interactive Smartlog, which is a GUI that facilitates source control operations such as creating, reordering, or rebasing commits. Running this command launches a web server that makes Sapling Web and Interactive Smartlog available in a local web browser. When possible, this command opens a separate OS window, either using a webview or a Chrome-like browser with --app.

Examples:

Launch Sapling Web locally on port 8081:

$ sl web --port 8081
Listening on http://localhost:8081/?token=bbe168b7b4af1614dd5b9ddc48e7d30e&cwd=%2Fhome%2Falice%2Fsapling
Server logs will be written to /dev/shm/tmp/isl-server-logrkrmxp/isl-server.log

Using the --json option to get the current status of Sapling Web:

$ sl web --port 8081 --json | jq
{
    "url": "http://localhost:8081/?token=bbe168b7b4af1614dd5b9ddc48e7d30e&cwd=%2Fhome%2Falice%2Fsapling",
    "port": 8081,
    "token": "bbe168b7b4af1614dd5b9ddc48e7d30e",
    "pid": 1521158,
    "wasServerReused": true,
    "logFileLocation": "/dev/shm/tmp/isl-server-logrkrmxp/isl-server.log",
    "cwd": "/home/alice/sapling"
}

Using the --kill option to shut down the server:

$ sl web --port 8081 --kill
killed ISL server process 1521158
