I am confused. If this is to help development, then shouldn't it be
more convenient to allow developer to use the code in current
[development] directory, overriding TORTOISEHG_PATH defined in env?
Else we will always have to remember to point TORTOISEHG_PATH to the
directory where you want to test/develop hgtk, which can be very
confusing.
IMO, TORTOISEHG_PATH should be the last place we look.
