Comment(by jhpalmieri):
Replying to [comment:56 kini]:
> Yes, see [comment:41 this comment]. All that extra stuff (besides
`git=True`) is put in the file `$SAGE_ROOT/local/etc/mercurial/hgrc` by
the installer of `mercurial-1.8.4.spkg` from #10594. Indeed, the file in
John's patch to `sage-clone` could just as well open the `.hg/hgrc` file
with mode `'w'` rather than `'a'`, I think.
Well, when you make a clone, a new .hgrc file is written, saying something
like
{{{
[paths]
default = .../devel/sage
}}}
I'm not sure of the purpose of this, but I thought we should append to it,
not overwrite it.
