Configuration

File paths

Configuration file paths have been slightly modified to fit into the Plan 9 file system hierarchy:

Per-user configuration:

  • $home/lib/hgrc

Per-system configuration:

  • /lib/mercurial/hgrc

  • /lib/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc

Per-installation configuration:

  • <install-root>/lib/mercurial/hgrc

  • <install-root>/lib/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc

For more detail, see hg help config.

Other differences

By default, installations will have the factotum extension enabled; this extension permits factotum(4) to act as an authentication agent for HTTP repositories. Additionally, an extdiff command named 9diff is enabled which generates diff(1) compatible output suitable for use with the plumber(4).

Commit messages are plumbed using E if no editor is defined; users must update the plumbed file to continue, otherwise the hg process must be interrupted.
