Comment(by jhpalmieri):
I'm a little wary of changing the default behavior in so many ways. In
general, wouldn't it be good enough to point to the
[http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/UsingExtensions Mercurial extensions
page] and let people pick for themselves? Or we could recommend some good
choices. We could do this in the developer's guide, when we discuss using
Mercurial. I guess it seems that enabling these extensions reflects the
opinions of a few people, and it might be safer to just implement a few
important changes (like git=true). Anyway, here are some of my questions
and opinions:
{{{
[trusted]
users = $USER is this necessary? what happens if we leave this out?
[diff]
git = true seems like a good idea
[extensions]
color = innocuous
graphlog = innocuous, but should it be "hgext.graphlog="? That's
what the docs say.
mq = useful, keep it
pager = see my comments below.
progress = innocuous
purge = should this be "hgext.purge="? provides a potentially
useful, but potentially dangerous, command
rebase = seems okay, but I've never used it
record = "hgext.record="?
relink = seems okay, but never used it
transplant = seems okay, but never used it
}}}
Regarding "pager": first, should we follow the
[http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/PagerExtension Mercurial suggestions]
and do
{{{
[pager]
pager = LESS='FSRX' less
}}}
Second, if we use the pager extension, will it interfere with Sage
functions like {{{hg_sage.diff()}}}? These are defined in
SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/sage/misc/hg.py, and they call a pager already, a
different one depending on whether working from the command-line or in the
notebook.
