| == Naming == The best proposal I've heard for the name for this config knob is `ui.progressive`. We want something that suggests the moving-target nature of the knob, but also doesn't imply that we think hg without this is bad, just that we think this is better. |

Jun: since the config is likely to be a set of individual configs. It may be better to be implemented as a rc file. So `%include friendly` is the way to use it. The rc could also enable pager, color, rebase, histedit extensions etc. Augie: I'm strongly opposed to this approach. |

This is done.
Rationale
We've been accumulating functionality that the average user probably wants on by default, but can't always turn on by default due to our compatibility rules. The idea of "Friendly HG" is to give us an opt-in way for users to request our best features as they become polished and ready, even in cases where that violates some of our compatibility rules.
Name
[ui] tweakdefaults = yes
Rejected alternatives: friendly, progressive: These have negative implications we don't particularly like.
modernize: nobody liked this.
Proposed Items
grep should search working copy by default (obsoleted by GrepPlan)
- show renames and copies in status (done)
- color (on by default globally)
- completely remove all traces of the rollback command (done)
- diff.git=1 (done)
- needs an easy way to disable when it breaks something
- diff.showfunc=1
- needs an easy way to disable when it breaks something
eradicate all instances of the word tip (tip command, tip pseudo-tag)
change default ui.interface to curses
hg log gains a default of --follow
Ideas for later
hg update gains a default of --check (done)
disallow bare hg push
terse status (done as -t/--terse flag to hg status)
marked as experimental because of bug5724
- mergemarkers.detailed
- Risky on some non-English systems
Implementation
This would change some defaults, but users can still override things (for example, if we include pager, durin42 and mpm can put [extensions] pager = ! in their hgrc.) HGPLAIN would disable all default-changes from friendlyhg, so automation tooling still works as expected.
