I just discovered that the "hg reparent" subcommand does not expand
paths from hgrc. This forces one to remember long ssh:// URLs.
The fix seems quite simple.

This is how it works:

Should I file an RFE for this? Is the bugs.grommit.com bugzilla
still the one being used? I could not reach it a few minutes ago.
Thanks,
