Yeah, either through 'tortoisehg.trainingwheels = False' or just
checking for loaded extensions.

Backout is mostly harmless, though potentially confusing.  When there
are conflicts, rebase requires you to resolve conflicts and then run
'hg rebase --continue' on the command line to finish the transaction.

strip is always shown in hgtk log.  The MQ features in the commit tool
are hidden unless the MQ extension is loaded, however.
