Comment(by kini):
It is what I intended, because it is what Jeroen suggested I do. If you
suggest I do otherwise, then in the interest of expediency I will follow
the suggestion of whoever promises to review this first :P I have my own
`~/.hgrc` with `pager = less -R` in it anyway, so it doesn't much matter
to me. As you said earlier, the most important thing here is to get
"git=true" in there.
One benefit I can think of for not putting `pager = LESS='FSRX' less` in
the `hgrc` is that the various scripts which (unwisely, in my opinion)
call mercurial commands such as `diff`, `log`, `status`, etc. during build
processes which are supposed to be unattended can be guaranteed not to
halt waiting for someone to exit `less`, whereas at the moment, I, at
least, have not vetted all such scripts to make sure this doesn't happen.
