Sure, me too, but it also takes control away from the user, just like
turning the pager extension on. The patches on #11121 which are not in the
spkg cause sage to put `.hg/.hgrc` files in the Sage mercurial
repositories themselves. This means that `sage -hg` will produce git-style
patches when operating on a Sage repository, but not by default when
operating on any other random repository on your system. So it's a more
"vanilla" approach to leave those patches from #11121 intact and remove
the git stuff from `$SAGE_LOCAL/etc/mercurial/hgrc`. Just saying, in case
we eventually decide to roll back #11121 and rewrite #11142.
(The first two lines of `$SAGE_LOCAL/etc/mercurial/hgrc` are still
necessary to make the previously mentioned `.hgrc` files be accepted by a
Mercurial running under a different user from whoever installed the Sage
repos - another indication that maybe version control should not be
integrated into the installation of a package, but should rather be
managed by the user in user-owned directories, but that's another story.)
