 The Mercurial system uses a set of configuration files to control
 aspects of its behavior.
 
 The configuration files use a simple ini-file format. A configuration
 file consists of sections, led by a ``[section]`` header and followed
 by ``name = value`` entries::
 
   [ui]
   username = Firstname Lastname <[e-mail]>
   verbose = True
 
 The above entries will be referred to as ``ui.username`` and
 ``ui.verbose``, respectively. See the Syntax section below.
 
 Files
 =====
 
 Mercurial reads configuration data from several files, if they exist.
 These files do not exist by default and you will have to create the
 appropriate configuration files yourself: global configuration like
 the username setting is typically put into
 ``%USERPROFILE%\mercurial.ini`` or ``$HOME/.hgrc`` and local
 configuration is put into the per-repository ``<repo>/.hg/hgrc`` file.
 
 The names of these files depend on the system on which Mercurial is
 installed. ``*.rc`` files from a single directory are read in
 alphabetical order, later ones overriding earlier ones. Where multiple
 paths are given below, settings from earlier paths override later
 ones.
 
 .. container:: verbose.unix
 
   On Unix, the following files are consulted:
 
   - ``<repo>/.hg/hgrc`` (per-repository)
   - ``$HOME/.hgrc`` (per-user)
   - ``<install-root>/etc/mercurial/hgrc`` (per-installation)
   - ``<install-root>/etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc`` (per-installation)
   - ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc`` (per-system)
   - ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc`` (per-system)
   - ``<internal>/default.d/*.rc`` (defaults)
 
 .. container:: verbose.windows
 
   On Windows, the following files are consulted:
 
   - ``<repo>/.hg/hgrc`` (per-repository)
   - ``%USERPROFILE%\.hgrc`` (per-user)
   - ``%USERPROFILE%\Mercurial.ini`` (per-user)
   - ``%HOME%\.hgrc`` (per-user)
   - ``%HOME%\Mercurial.ini`` (per-user)
   - ``<install-dir>\Mercurial.ini`` (per-installation)
   - ``<install-dir>\hgrc.d\*.rc`` (per-installation)
   - ``HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mercurial`` (per-installation)
   - ``<internal>/default.d/*.rc`` (defaults)
 
   .. note::
 
    The registry key ``HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mercurial``
    is used when running 32-bit Python on 64-bit Windows.
 
 .. container:: verbose.plan9
 
   On Plan9, the following files are consulted:
 
   - ``<repo>/.hg/hgrc`` (per-repository)
   - ``$home/lib/hgrc`` (per-user)
   - ``<install-root>/lib/mercurial/hgrc`` (per-installation)
   - ``<install-root>/lib/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc`` (per-installation)
   - ``/lib/mercurial/hgrc`` (per-system)
   - ``/lib/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc`` (per-system)
   - ``<internal>/default.d/*.rc`` (defaults)
 
 Per-repository configuration options only apply in a
 particular repository. This file is not version-controlled, and
 will not get transferred during a "clone" operation. Options in
 this file override options in all other configuration files. On
 Plan 9 and Unix, most of this file will be ignored if it doesn't
 belong to a trusted user or to a trusted group. See the documentation
 for the ``[trusted]`` section below for more details.
 
 Per-user configuration file(s) are for the user running Mercurial. On
 Windows 9x, ``%HOME%`` is replaced by ``%APPDATA%``. Options in these
 files apply to all Mercurial commands executed by this user in any
 directory. Options in these files override per-system and per-installation
 options.
 
 Per-installation configuration files are searched for in the
 directory where Mercurial is installed. ``<install-root>`` is the
 parent directory of the **hg** executable (or symlink) being run. For
 example, if installed in ``/shared/tools/bin/hg``, Mercurial will look
 in ``/shared/tools/etc/mercurial/hgrc``. Options in these files apply
 to all Mercurial commands executed by any user in any directory.
 
 Per-installation configuration files are for the system on
 which Mercurial is running. Options in these files apply to all
 Mercurial commands executed by any user in any directory. Registry
 keys contain PATH-like strings, every part of which must reference
 a ``Mercurial.ini`` file or be a directory where ``*.rc`` files will
 be read.  Mercurial checks each of these locations in the specified
 order until one or more configuration files are detected.
 
 Per-system configuration files are for the system on which Mercurial
 is running. Options in these files apply to all Mercurial commands
 executed by any user in any directory. Options in these files
 override per-installation options.
 
 Mercurial comes with some default configuration. The default configuration
 files are installed with Mercurial and will be overwritten on upgrades. Default
 configuration files should never be edited by users or administrators but can
 be overridden in other configuration files. So far the directory only contains
 merge tool configuration but packagers can also put other default configuration
 there.
 
 Syntax
 ======
 
 A configuration file consists of sections, led by a ``[section]`` header
 and followed by ``name = value`` entries (sometimes called
 ``configuration keys``)::
 
     [spam]
     eggs=ham
     green=
        eggs
 
 Each line contains one entry. If the lines that follow are indented,
 they are treated as continuations of that entry. Leading whitespace is
 removed from values. Empty lines are skipped. Lines beginning with
 ``#`` or ``;`` are ignored and may be used to provide comments.
 
 Configuration keys can be set multiple times, in which case Mercurial
 will use the value that was configured last. As an example::
 
     [spam]
     eggs=large
     ham=serrano
     eggs=small
 
 This would set the configuration key named ``eggs`` to ``small``.
 
 It is also possible to define a section multiple times. A section can
 be redefined on the same and/or on different configuration files. For
 example::
 
     [foo]
     eggs=large
     ham=serrano
     eggs=small
 
     [bar]
     eggs=ham
     green=
        eggs
 
     [foo]
     ham=prosciutto
     eggs=medium
     bread=toasted
 
 This would set the ``eggs``, ``ham``, and ``bread`` configuration keys
 of the ``foo`` section to ``medium``, ``prosciutto``, and ``toasted``,
 respectively. As you can see there only thing that matters is the last
 value that was set for each of the configuration keys.
 
 If a configuration key is set multiple times in different
 configuration files the final value will depend on the order in which
 the different configuration files are read, with settings from earlier
 paths overriding later ones as described on the ``Files`` section
 above.
 
 A line of the form ``%include file`` will include ``file`` into the
 current configuration file. The inclusion is recursive, which means
 that included files can include other files. Filenames are relative to
 the configuration file in which the ``%include`` directive is found.
 Environment variables and ``~user`` constructs are expanded in
 ``file``. This lets you do something like::
 
   %include ~/.hgrc.d/$HOST.rc
 
 to include a different configuration file on each computer you use.
 
 A line with ``%unset name`` will remove ``name`` from the current
 section, if it has been set previously.
 
 The values are either free-form text strings, lists of text strings,
 or Boolean values. Boolean values can be set to true using any of "1",
 "yes", "true", or "on" and to false using "0", "no", "false", or "off"
 (all case insensitive).
 
 List values are separated by whitespace or comma, except when values are
 placed in double quotation marks::
 
   allow_read = "John Doe, PhD", brian, betty
 
 Quotation marks can be escaped by prefixing them with a backslash. Only
 quotation marks at the beginning of a word is counted as a quotation
 (e.g., ``foo"bar baz`` is the list of ``foo"bar`` and ``baz``).
 
 Sections
 ========
 
 This section describes the different sections that may appear in a
 Mercurial configuration file, the purpose of each section, its possible
 keys, and their possible values.
 
 ``alias``
 ---------
 
 Defines command aliases.
 
 Aliases allow you to define your own commands in terms of other
 commands (or aliases), optionally including arguments. Positional
 arguments in the form of ``$1``, ``$2``, etc. in the alias definition
 are expanded by Mercurial before execution. Positional arguments not
 already used by ``$N`` in the definition are put at the end of the
 command to be executed.
 
 Alias definitions consist of lines of the form::
 
     <alias> = <command> [<argument>]...
 
 For example, this definition::
 
     latest = log --limit 5
 
 creates a new command ``latest`` that shows only the five most recent
 changesets. You can define subsequent aliases using earlier ones::
 
     stable5 = latest -b stable
 
 .. note::
 
    It is possible to create aliases with the same names as
    existing commands, which will then override the original
    definitions. This is almost always a bad idea!
 
 An alias can start with an exclamation point (``!``) to make it a
 shell alias. A shell alias is executed with the shell and will let you
 run arbitrary commands. As an example, ::
 
    echo = !echo $@
 
 will let you do ``hg echo foo`` to have ``foo`` printed in your
 terminal. A better example might be::
 
    purge = !$HG status --no-status --unknown -0 | xargs -0 rm
 
 which will make ``hg purge`` delete all unknown files in the
 repository in the same manner as the purge extension.
 
 Positional arguments like ``$1``, ``$2``, etc. in the alias definition
 expand to the command arguments. Unmatched arguments are
 removed. ``$0`` expands to the alias name and ``$@`` expands to all
 arguments separated by a space. ``"$@"`` (with quotes) expands to all
 arguments quoted individually and separated by a space. These expansions
 happen before the command is passed to the shell.
 
 Shell aliases are executed in an environment where ``$HG`` expands to
 the path of the Mercurial that was used to execute the alias. This is
 useful when you want to call further Mercurial commands in a shell
 alias, as was done above for the purge alias. In addition,
 ``$HG_ARGS`` expands to the arguments given to Mercurial. In the ``hg
 echo foo`` call above, ``$HG_ARGS`` would expand to ``echo foo``.
 
 .. note::
 
    Some global configuration options such as ``-R`` are
    processed before shell aliases and will thus not be passed to
    aliases.
 
 
 ``annotate``
 ------------
 
 Settings used when displaying file annotations. All values are
 Booleans and default to False. See ``diff`` section for related
 options for the diff command.
 
 ``ignorews``
     Ignore white space when comparing lines.
 
 ``ignorewsamount``
     Ignore changes in the amount of white space.
 
 ``ignoreblanklines``
     Ignore changes whose lines are all blank.
 
 
 ``auth``
 --------
 
 Authentication credentials for HTTP authentication. This section
 allows you to store usernames and passwords for use when logging
 *into* HTTP servers. See the ``[web]`` configuration section if
 you want to configure *who* can login to your HTTP server.
 
 Each line has the following format::
 
     <name>.<argument> = <value>
 
 where ``<name>`` is used to group arguments into authentication
 entries. Example::
 
     foo.prefix = hg.intevation.org/mercurial
     foo.username = foo
     foo.password = bar
     foo.schemes = http https
 
     bar.prefix = secure.example.org
     bar.key = path/to/file.key
     bar.cert = path/to/file.cert
     bar.schemes = https
 
 Supported arguments:
 
 ``prefix``
     Either ``*`` or a URI prefix with or without the scheme part.
     The authentication entry with the longest matching prefix is used
     (where ``*`` matches everything and counts as a match of length
     1). If the prefix doesn't include a scheme, the match is performed
     against the URI with its scheme stripped as well, and the schemes
     argument, q.v., is then subsequently consulted.
 
 ``username``
     Optional. Username to authenticate with. If not given, and the
     remote site requires basic or digest authentication, the user will
     be prompted for it. Environment variables are expanded in the
     username letting you do ``foo.username = $USER``. If the URI
     includes a username, only ``[auth]`` entries with a matching
     username or without a username will be considered.
 
 ``password``
     Optional. Password to authenticate with. If not given, and the
     remote site requires basic or digest authentication, the user
     will be prompted for it.
 
 ``key``
     Optional. PEM encoded client certificate key file. Environment
     variables are expanded in the filename.
 
 ``cert``
     Optional. PEM encoded client certificate chain file. Environment
     variables are expanded in the filename.
 
 ``schemes``
     Optional. Space separated list of URI schemes to use this
     authentication entry with. Only used if the prefix doesn't include
     a scheme. Supported schemes are http and https. They will match
     static-http and static-https respectively, as well.
-    Default: https.
+    (default: https)
 
 If no suitable authentication entry is found, the user is prompted
 for credentials as usual if required by the remote.
 
 
 ``committemplate``
 ------------------
 
 ``changeset``
     String: configuration in this section is used as the template to
     customize the text shown in the editor when committing.
 
 In addition to pre-defined template keywords, commit log specific one
 below can be used for customization:
 
 ``extramsg``
     String: Extra message (typically 'Leave message empty to abort
     commit.'). This may be changed by some commands or extensions.
 
 For example, the template configuration below shows as same text as
 one shown by default::
 
     [committemplate]
     changeset = {desc}\n\n
         HG: Enter commit message.  Lines beginning with 'HG:' are removed.
         HG: {extramsg}
         HG: --
         HG: user: {author}\n{ifeq(p2rev, "-1", "",
        "HG: branch merge\n")
        }HG: branch '{branch}'\n{if(activebookmark,
        "HG: bookmark '{activebookmark}'\n")   }{subrepos %
        "HG: subrepo {subrepo}\n"              }{file_adds %
        "HG: added {file}\n"                   }{file_mods %
        "HG: changed {file}\n"                 }{file_dels %
        "HG: removed {file}\n"                 }{if(files, "",
        "HG: no files changed\n")}
 
 .. note::
 
    For some problematic encodings (see :hg:`help win32mbcs` for
    detail), this customization should be configured carefully, to
    avoid showing broken characters.
 
    For example, if multibyte character ending with backslash (0x5c) is
    followed by ASCII character 'n' in the customized template,
    sequence of backslash and 'n' is treated as line-feed unexpectedly
    (and multibyte character is broken, too).
 
 Customized template is used for commands below (``--edit`` may be
 required):
 
 - :hg:`backout`
 - :hg:`commit`
 - :hg:`fetch` (for merge commit only)
 - :hg:`graft`
 - :hg:`histedit`
 - :hg:`import`
 - :hg:`qfold`, :hg:`qnew` and :hg:`qrefresh`
 - :hg:`rebase`
 - :hg:`shelve`
 - :hg:`sign`
 - :hg:`tag`
 - :hg:`transplant`
 
 Configuring items below instead of ``changeset`` allows showing
 customized message only for specific actions, or showing different
 messages for each action.
 
 - ``changeset.backout`` for :hg:`backout`
 - ``changeset.commit.amend.merge`` for :hg:`commit --amend` on merges
 - ``changeset.commit.amend.normal`` for :hg:`commit --amend` on other
 - ``changeset.commit.normal.merge`` for :hg:`commit` on merges
 - ``changeset.commit.normal.normal`` for :hg:`commit` on other
 - ``changeset.fetch`` for :hg:`fetch` (impling merge commit)
 - ``changeset.gpg.sign`` for :hg:`sign`
 - ``changeset.graft`` for :hg:`graft`
 - ``changeset.histedit.edit`` for ``edit`` of :hg:`histedit`
 - ``changeset.histedit.fold`` for ``fold`` of :hg:`histedit`
 - ``changeset.histedit.mess`` for ``mess`` of :hg:`histedit`
 - ``changeset.histedit.pick`` for ``pick`` of :hg:`histedit`
 - ``changeset.import.bypass`` for :hg:`import --bypass`
 - ``changeset.import.normal.merge`` for :hg:`import` on merges
 - ``changeset.import.normal.normal`` for :hg:`import` on other
 - ``changeset.mq.qnew`` for :hg:`qnew`
 - ``changeset.mq.qfold`` for :hg:`qfold`
 - ``changeset.mq.qrefresh`` for :hg:`qrefresh`
 - ``changeset.rebase.collapse`` for :hg:`rebase --collapse`
 - ``changeset.rebase.merge`` for :hg:`rebase` on merges
 - ``changeset.rebase.normal`` for :hg:`rebase` on other
 - ``changeset.shelve.shelve`` for :hg:`shelve`
 - ``changeset.tag.add`` for :hg:`tag` without ``--remove``
 - ``changeset.tag.remove`` for :hg:`tag --remove`
 - ``changeset.transplant.merge`` for :hg:`transplant` on merges
 - ``changeset.transplant.normal`` for :hg:`transplant` on other
 
 These dot-separated lists of names are treated as hierarchical ones.
 For example, ``changeset.tag.remove`` customizes the commit message
 only for :hg:`tag --remove`, but ``changeset.tag`` customizes the
 commit message for :hg:`tag` regardless of ``--remove`` option.
 
 At the external editor invocation for committing, corresponding
 dot-separated list of names without ``changeset.`` prefix
 (e.g. ``commit.normal.normal``) is in ``HGEDITFORM`` environment variable.
 
 In this section, items other than ``changeset`` can be referred from
 others. For example, the configuration to list committed files up
 below can be referred as ``{listupfiles}``::
 
     [committemplate]
     listupfiles = {file_adds %
        "HG: added {file}\n"     }{file_mods %
        "HG: changed {file}\n"   }{file_dels %
        "HG: removed {file}\n"   }{if(files, "",
        "HG: no files changed\n")}
 
 ``decode/encode``
 -----------------
 
 Filters for transforming files on checkout/checkin. This would
 typically be used for newline processing or other
 localization/canonicalization of files.
 
 Filters consist of a filter pattern followed by a filter command.
 Filter patterns are globs by default, rooted at the repository root.
 For example, to match any file ending in ``.txt`` in the root
 directory only, use the pattern ``*.txt``. To match any file ending
 in ``.c`` anywhere in the repository, use the pattern ``**.c``.
 For each file only the first matching filter applies.
 
 The filter command can start with a specifier, either ``pipe:`` or
 ``tempfile:``. If no specifier is given, ``pipe:`` is used by default.
 
 A ``pipe:`` command must accept data on stdin and return the transformed
 data on stdout.
 
 Pipe example::
 
   [encode]
   # uncompress gzip files on checkin to improve delta compression
   # note: not necessarily a good idea, just an example
   *.gz = pipe: gunzip
 
   [decode]
   # recompress gzip files when writing them to the working dir (we
   # can safely omit "pipe:", because it's the default)
   *.gz = gzip
 
 A ``tempfile:`` command is a template. The string ``INFILE`` is replaced
 with the name of a temporary file that contains the data to be
 filtered by the command. The string ``OUTFILE`` is replaced with the name
 of an empty temporary file, where the filtered data must be written by
 the command.
 
 .. note::
 
    The tempfile mechanism is recommended for Windows systems,
    where the standard shell I/O redirection operators often have
    strange effects and may corrupt the contents of your files.
 
 This filter mechanism is used internally by the ``eol`` extension to
 translate line ending characters between Windows (CRLF) and Unix (LF)
 format. We suggest you use the ``eol`` extension for convenience.
 
 
 ``defaults``
 ------------
 
 (defaults are deprecated. Don't use them. Use aliases instead.)
 
 Use the ``[defaults]`` section to define command defaults, i.e. the
 default options/arguments to pass to the specified commands.
 
 The following example makes :hg:`log` run in verbose mode, and
 :hg:`status` show only the modified files, by default::
 
   [defaults]
   log = -v
   status = -m
 
 The actual commands, instead of their aliases, must be used when
 defining command defaults. The command defaults will also be applied
 to the aliases of the commands defined.
 
 
 ``diff``
 --------
 
 Settings used when displaying diffs. Everything except for ``unified``
 is a Boolean and defaults to False. See ``annotate`` section for
 related options for the annotate command.
 
 ``git``
     Use git extended diff format.
 
 ``nobinary``
     Omit git binary patches.
 
 ``nodates``
     Don't include dates in diff headers.
 
 ``noprefix``
     Omit 'a/' and 'b/' prefixes from filenames. Ignored in plain mode.
 
 ``showfunc``
     Show which function each change is in.
 
 ``ignorews``
     Ignore white space when comparing lines.
 
 ``ignorewsamount``
     Ignore changes in the amount of white space.
 
 ``ignoreblanklines``
     Ignore changes whose lines are all blank.
 
 ``unified``
     Number of lines of context to show.
 
 ``email``
 ---------
 
 Settings for extensions that send email messages.
 
 ``from``
     Optional. Email address to use in "From" header and SMTP envelope
     of outgoing messages.
 
 ``to``
     Optional. Comma-separated list of recipients' email addresses.
 
 ``cc``
     Optional. Comma-separated list of carbon copy recipients'
     email addresses.
 
 ``bcc``
     Optional. Comma-separated list of blind carbon copy recipients'
     email addresses.
 
 ``method``
     Optional. Method to use to send email messages. If value is ``smtp``
     (default), use SMTP (see the ``[smtp]`` section for configuration).
     Otherwise, use as name of program to run that acts like sendmail
     (takes ``-f`` option for sender, list of recipients on command line,
     message on stdin). Normally, setting this to ``sendmail`` or
     ``/usr/sbin/sendmail`` is enough to use sendmail to send messages.
 
 ``charsets``
     Optional. Comma-separated list of character sets considered
     convenient for recipients. Addresses, headers, and parts not
     containing patches of outgoing messages will be encoded in the
     first character set to which conversion from local encoding
     (``$HGENCODING``, ``ui.fallbackencoding``) succeeds. If correct
-    conversion fails, the text in question is sent as is. Defaults to
-    empty (explicit) list.
+    conversion fails, the text in question is sent as is.
+    (default: '')
 
     Order of outgoing email character sets:
 
     1. ``us-ascii``: always first, regardless of settings
     2. ``email.charsets``: in order given by user
     3. ``ui.fallbackencoding``: if not in email.charsets
     4. ``$HGENCODING``: if not in email.charsets
     5. ``utf-8``: always last, regardless of settings
 
 Email example::
 
   [email]
   from = Joseph User <[e-mail]>
   method = /usr/sbin/sendmail
   # charsets for western Europeans
   # us-ascii, utf-8 omitted, as they are tried first and last
   charsets = iso-8859-1, iso-8859-15, windows-1252
 
 
 ``extensions``
 --------------
 
 Mercurial has an extension mechanism for adding new features. To
 enable an extension, create an entry for it in this section.
 
 If you know that the extension is already in Python's search path,
 you can give the name of the module, followed by ``=``, with nothing
 after the ``=``.
 
 Otherwise, give a name that you choose, followed by ``=``, followed by
 the path to the ``.py`` file (including the file name extension) that
 defines the extension.
 
 To explicitly disable an extension that is enabled in an hgrc of
 broader scope, prepend its path with ``!``, as in ``foo = !/ext/path``
 or ``foo = !`` when path is not supplied.
 
 Example for ``~/.hgrc``::
 
   [extensions]
   # (the color extension will get loaded from Mercurial's path)
   color =
   # (this extension will get loaded from the file specified)
   myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py
 
 
 ``format``
 ----------
 
 ``usestore``
     Enable or disable the "store" repository format which improves
     compatibility with systems that fold case or otherwise mangle
     filenames. Enabled by default. Disabling this option will allow
     you to store longer filenames in some situations at the expense of
     compatibility and ensures that the on-disk format of newly created
     repositories will be compatible with Mercurial before version 0.9.4.
 
 ``usefncache``
     Enable or disable the "fncache" repository format which enhances
     the "store" repository format (which has to be enabled to use
     fncache) to allow longer filenames and avoids using Windows
     reserved names, e.g. "nul". Enabled by default. Disabling this
     option ensures that the on-disk format of newly created
     repositories will be compatible with Mercurial before version 1.1.
 
 ``dotencode``
     Enable or disable the "dotencode" repository format which enhances
     the "fncache" repository format (which has to be enabled to use
     dotencode) to avoid issues with filenames starting with ._ on
     Mac OS X and spaces on Windows. Enabled by default. Disabling this
     option ensures that the on-disk format of newly created
     repositories will be compatible with Mercurial before version 1.7.
 
 ``graph``
 ---------
 
 Web graph view configuration. This section let you change graph
 elements display properties by branches, for instance to make the
 ``default`` branch stand out.
 
 Each line has the following format::
 
     <branch>.<argument> = <value>
 
 where ``<branch>`` is the name of the branch being
 customized. Example::
 
     [graph]
     # 2px width
     default.width = 2
     # red color
     default.color = FF0000
 
 Supported arguments:
 
 ``width``
     Set branch edges width in pixels.
 
 ``color``
     Set branch edges color in hexadecimal RGB notation.
 
 ``hooks``
 ---------
 
 Commands or Python functions that get automatically executed by
 various actions such as starting or finishing a commit. Multiple
 hooks can be run for the same action by appending a suffix to the
 action. Overriding a site-wide hook can be done by changing its
 value or setting it to an empty string.  Hooks can be prioritized
 by adding a prefix of ``priority`` to the hook name on a new line
 and setting the priority. The default priority is 0.
 
 Example ``.hg/hgrc``::
 
   [hooks]
   # update working directory after adding changesets
   changegroup.update = hg update
   # do not use the site-wide hook
   incoming =
   incoming.email = /my/email/hook
   incoming.autobuild = /my/build/hook
   # force autobuild hook to run before other incoming hooks
   priority.incoming.autobuild = 1
 
 Most hooks are run with environment variables set that give useful
 additional information. For each hook below, the environment
 variables it is passed are listed with names of the form ``$HG_foo``.
 
 ``changegroup``
   Run after a changegroup has been added via push, pull or unbundle.
   ID of the first new changeset is in ``$HG_NODE``. URL from which
   changes came is in ``$HG_URL``.
 
 ``commit``
   Run after a changeset has been created in the local repository. ID
   of the newly created changeset is in ``$HG_NODE``. Parent changeset
   IDs are in ``$HG_PARENT1`` and ``$HG_PARENT2``.
 
 ``incoming``
   Run after a changeset has been pulled, pushed, or unbundled into
   the local repository. The ID of the newly arrived changeset is in
   ``$HG_NODE``. URL that was source of changes came is in ``$HG_URL``.
 
 ``outgoing``
   Run after sending changes from local repository to another. ID of
   first changeset sent is in ``$HG_NODE``. Source of operation is in
   ``$HG_SOURCE``; see "preoutgoing" hook for description.
 
 ``post-<command>``
   Run after successful invocations of the associated command. The
   contents of the command line are passed as ``$HG_ARGS`` and the result
   code in ``$HG_RESULT``. Parsed command line arguments are passed as
   ``$HG_PATS`` and ``$HG_OPTS``. These contain string representations of
   the python data internally passed to <command>. ``$HG_OPTS`` is a
   dictionary of options (with unspecified options set to their defaults).
   ``$HG_PATS`` is a list of arguments. Hook failure is ignored.
 
 ``pre-<command>``
   Run before executing the associated command. The contents of the
   command line are passed as ``$HG_ARGS``. Parsed command line arguments
   are passed as ``$HG_PATS`` and ``$HG_OPTS``. These contain string
   representations of the data internally passed to <command>. ``$HG_OPTS``
   is a  dictionary of options (with unspecified options set to their
   defaults). ``$HG_PATS`` is a list of arguments. If the hook returns
   failure, the command doesn't execute and Mercurial returns the failure
   code.
 
 ``prechangegroup``
   Run before a changegroup is added via push, pull or unbundle. Exit
   status 0 allows the changegroup to proceed. Non-zero status will
   cause the push, pull or unbundle to fail. URL from which changes
   will come is in ``$HG_URL``.
 
 ``precommit``
   Run before starting a local commit. Exit status 0 allows the
   commit to proceed. Non-zero status will cause the commit to fail.
   Parent changeset IDs are in ``$HG_PARENT1`` and ``$HG_PARENT2``.
 
 ``prelistkeys``
   Run before listing pushkeys (like bookmarks) in the
   repository. Non-zero status will cause failure. The key namespace is
   in ``$HG_NAMESPACE``.
 
 ``preoutgoing``
   Run before collecting changes to send from the local repository to
   another. Non-zero status will cause failure. This lets you prevent
   pull over HTTP or SSH. Also prevents against local pull, push
   (outbound) or bundle commands, but not effective, since you can
   just copy files instead then. Source of operation is in
   ``$HG_SOURCE``. If "serve", operation is happening on behalf of remote
   SSH or HTTP repository. If "push", "pull" or "bundle", operation
   is happening on behalf of repository on same system.
 
 ``prepushkey``
   Run before a pushkey (like a bookmark) is added to the
   repository. Non-zero status will cause the key to be rejected. The
   key namespace is in ``$HG_NAMESPACE``, the key is in ``$HG_KEY``,
   the old value (if any) is in ``$HG_OLD``, and the new value is in
   ``$HG_NEW``.
 
 ``pretag``
   Run before creating a tag. Exit status 0 allows the tag to be
   created. Non-zero status will cause the tag to fail. ID of
   changeset to tag is in ``$HG_NODE``. Name of tag is in ``$HG_TAG``. Tag is
   local if ``$HG_LOCAL=1``, in repository if ``$HG_LOCAL=0``.
 
 ``pretxnopen``
   Run before any new repository transaction is open. The reason for the
   transaction will be in ``$HG_TXNNAME`` and a unique identifier for the
   transaction will be in ``HG_TXNID``. A non-zero status will prevent the
   transaction from being opened.
 
 ``pretxnclose``
   Run right before the transaction is actually finalized. Any
   repository change will be visible to the hook program. This lets you
   validate the transaction content or change it. Exit status 0 allows
   the commit to proceed. Non-zero status will cause the transaction to
   be rolled back. The reason for the transaction opening will be in
   ``$HG_TXNNAME`` and a unique identifier for the transaction will be in
   ``HG_TXNID``. The rest of the available data will vary according the
   transaction type. New changesets will add ``$HG_NODE`` (id of the
   first added changeset), ``$HG_URL`` and ``$HG_SOURCE`` variables,
   bookmarks and phases changes will set ``HG_BOOKMARK_MOVED`` and
   ``HG_PHASES_MOVED`` to ``1``, etc.
 
 ``txnclose``
   Run after any repository transaction has been committed. At this
   point, the transaction can no longer be rolled back. The hook will run
   after the lock is released. See ``pretxnclose`` docs for details about
   available variables.
 
 ``txnabort``
   Run when a transaction is aborted. See ``pretxnclose`` docs for details about
   available variables.
 
 ``pretxnchangegroup``
   Run after a changegroup has been added via push, pull or unbundle,
   but before the transaction has been committed. Changegroup is
   visible to hook program. This lets you validate incoming changes
   before accepting them. Passed the ID of the first new changeset in
   ``$HG_NODE``. Exit status 0 allows the transaction to commit. Non-zero
   status will cause the transaction to be rolled back and the push,
   pull or unbundle will fail. URL that was source of changes is in
   ``$HG_URL``.
 
 ``pretxncommit``
   Run after a changeset has been created but the transaction not yet
   committed. Changeset is visible to hook program. This lets you
   validate commit message and changes. Exit status 0 allows the
   commit to proceed. Non-zero status will cause the transaction to
   be rolled back. ID of changeset is in ``$HG_NODE``. Parent changeset
   IDs are in ``$HG_PARENT1`` and ``$HG_PARENT2``.
 
 ``preupdate``
   Run before updating the working directory. Exit status 0 allows
   the update to proceed. Non-zero status will prevent the update.
   Changeset ID of first new parent is in ``$HG_PARENT1``. If merge, ID
   of second new parent is in ``$HG_PARENT2``.
 
 ``listkeys``
   Run after listing pushkeys (like bookmarks) in the repository. The
   key namespace is in ``$HG_NAMESPACE``. ``$HG_VALUES`` is a
   dictionary containing the keys and values.
 
 ``pushkey``
   Run after a pushkey (like a bookmark) is added to the
   repository. The key namespace is in ``$HG_NAMESPACE``, the key is in
   ``$HG_KEY``, the old value (if any) is in ``$HG_OLD``, and the new
   value is in ``$HG_NEW``.
 
 ``tag``
   Run after a tag is created. ID of tagged changeset is in ``$HG_NODE``.
   Name of tag is in ``$HG_TAG``. Tag is local if ``$HG_LOCAL=1``, in
   repository if ``$HG_LOCAL=0``.
 
 ``update``
   Run after updating the working directory. Changeset ID of first
   new parent is in ``$HG_PARENT1``. If merge, ID of second new parent is
   in ``$HG_PARENT2``. If the update succeeded, ``$HG_ERROR=0``. If the
   update failed (e.g. because conflicts not resolved), ``$HG_ERROR=1``.
 
 .. note::
 
    It is generally better to use standard hooks rather than the
    generic pre- and post- command hooks as they are guaranteed to be
    called in the appropriate contexts for influencing transactions.
    Also, hooks like "commit" will be called in all contexts that
    generate a commit (e.g. tag) and not just the commit command.
 
 .. note::
 
    Environment variables with empty values may not be passed to
    hooks on platforms such as Windows. As an example, ``$HG_PARENT2``
    will have an empty value under Unix-like platforms for non-merge
    changesets, while it will not be available at all under Windows.
 
 The syntax for Python hooks is as follows::
 
   hookname = python:modulename.submodule.callable
   hookname = python:/path/to/python/module.py:callable
 
 Python hooks are run within the Mercurial process. Each hook is
 called with at least three keyword arguments: a ui object (keyword
 ``ui``), a repository object (keyword ``repo``), and a ``hooktype``
 keyword that tells what kind of hook is used. Arguments listed as
 environment variables above are passed as keyword arguments, with no
 ``HG_`` prefix, and names in lower case.
 
 If a Python hook returns a "true" value or raises an exception, this
 is treated as a failure.
 
 
 ``hostfingerprints``
 --------------------
 
 Fingerprints of the certificates of known HTTPS servers.
 A HTTPS connection to a server with a fingerprint configured here will
 only succeed if the servers certificate matches the fingerprint.
 This is very similar to how ssh known hosts works.
 The fingerprint is the SHA-1 hash value of the DER encoded certificate.
 The CA chain and web.cacerts is not used for servers with a fingerprint.
 
 For example::
 
     [hostfingerprints]
     hg.intevation.org = fa:1f:d9:48:f1:e7:74:30:38:8d:d8:58:b6:94:b8:58:28:7d:8b:d0
 
 This feature is only supported when using Python 2.6 or later.
 
 
 ``http_proxy``
 --------------
 
 Used to access web-based Mercurial repositories through a HTTP
 proxy.
 
 ``host``
     Host name and (optional) port of the proxy server, for example
     "myproxy:8000".
 
 ``no``
     Optional. Comma-separated list of host names that should bypass
     the proxy.
 
 ``passwd``
     Optional. Password to authenticate with at the proxy server.
 
 ``user``
     Optional. User name to authenticate with at the proxy server.
 
 ``always``
     Optional. Always use the proxy, even for localhost and any entries
-    in ``http_proxy.no``. True or False. Default: False.
+    in ``http_proxy.no``. True or False. (default: False)
 
 ``merge-patterns``
 ------------------
 
 This section specifies merge tools to associate with particular file
 patterns. Tools matched here will take precedence over the default
 merge tool. Patterns are globs by default, rooted at the repository
 root.
 
 Example::
 
   [merge-patterns]
   **.c = kdiff3
   **.jpg = myimgmerge
 
 ``merge-tools``
 ---------------
 
 This section configures external merge tools to use for file-level
 merges. This section has likely been preconfigured at install time.
 Use :hg:`config merge-tools` to check the existing configuration.
 Also see :hg:`help merge-tools` for more details.
 
 Example ``~/.hgrc``::
 
   [merge-tools]
   # Override stock tool location
   kdiff3.executable = ~/bin/kdiff3
   # Specify command line
   kdiff3.args = $base $local $other -o $output
   # Give higher priority
   kdiff3.priority = 1
 
   # Changing the priority of preconfigured tool
   vimdiff.priority = 0
 
   # Define new tool
   myHtmlTool.args = -m $local $other $base $output
   myHtmlTool.regkey = Software\FooSoftware\HtmlMerge
   myHtmlTool.priority = 1
 
 Supported arguments:
 
 ``priority``
   The priority in which to evaluate this tool.
-  Default: 0.
+  (default: 0)
 
 ``executable``
   Either just the name of the executable or its pathname.  On Windows,
   the path can use environment variables with ${ProgramFiles} syntax.
-  Default: the tool name.
+  (default: the tool name)
 
 ``args``
   The arguments to pass to the tool executable. You can refer to the
   files being merged as well as the output file through these
   variables: ``$base``, ``$local``, ``$other``, ``$output``. The meaning
   of ``$local`` and ``$other`` can vary depending on which action is being
   performed. During and update or merge, ``$local`` represents the original
   state of the file, while ``$other`` represents the commit you are updating
   to or the commit you are merging with. During a rebase ``$local``
   represents the destination of the rebase, and ``$other`` represents the
   commit being rebased.
-  Default: ``$local $base $other``
+  (default: ``$local $base $other``)
 
 ``premerge``
   Attempt to run internal non-interactive 3-way merge tool before
   launching external tool.  Options are ``true``, ``false``, ``keep`` or
   ``keep-merge3``. The ``keep`` option will leave markers in the file if the
   premerge fails. The ``keep-merge3`` will do the same but include information
   about the base of the merge in the marker (see internal :merge3 in
   :hg:`help merge-tools`).
-  Default: True
+  (default: True)
 
 ``binary``
-  This tool can merge binary files. Defaults to False, unless tool
-  was selected by file pattern match.
+  This tool can merge binary files. (default: False, unless tool
+  was selected by file pattern match)
 
 ``symlink``
-  This tool can merge symlinks. Defaults to False, even if tool was
-  selected by file pattern match.
+  This tool can merge symlinks. (default: False)
 
 ``check``
   A list of merge success-checking options::
 
   ``changed``
     Ask whether merge was successful when the merged file shows no changes.
   ``conflicts``
     Check whether there are conflicts even though the tool reported success.
   ``prompt``
     Always prompt for merge success, regardless of success reported by tool.
 
 ``fixeol``
   Attempt to fix up EOL changes caused by the merge tool.
-  Default: False
+  (default: False)
 
 ``gui``
-  This tool requires a graphical interface to run. Default: False
+  This tool requires a graphical interface to run. (default: False)
 
 ``regkey``
   Windows registry key which describes install location of this
   tool. Mercurial will search for this key first under
   ``HKEY_CURRENT_USER`` and then under ``HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE``.
-  Default: None
+  (default: None)
 
 ``regkeyalt``
   An alternate Windows registry key to try if the first key is not
   found.  The alternate key uses the same ``regname`` and ``regappend``
   semantics of the primary key.  The most common use for this key
   is to search for 32bit applications on 64bit operating systems.
-  Default: None
+  (default: None)
 
 ``regname``
-  Name of value to read from specified registry key. Defaults to the
-  unnamed (default) value.
+  Name of value to read from specified registry key.
+  (default: the unnamed (default) value)
 
 ``regappend``
   String to append to the value read from the registry, typically
   the executable name of the tool.
-  Default: None
+  (default: None)
 
 
 ``patch``
 ---------
 
 Settings used when applying patches, for instance through the 'import'
 command or with Mercurial Queues extension.
 
 ``eol``
     When set to 'strict' patch content and patched files end of lines
     are preserved. When set to ``lf`` or ``crlf``, both files end of
     lines are ignored when patching and the result line endings are
     normalized to either LF (Unix) or CRLF (Windows). When set to
     ``auto``, end of lines are again ignored while patching but line
     endings in patched files are normalized to their original setting
     on a per-file basis. If target file does not exist or has no end
     of line, patch line endings are preserved.
-    Default: strict.
+    (default: strict)
 
 ``fuzz``
     The number of lines of 'fuzz' to allow when applying patches. This
     controls how much context the patcher is allowed to ignore when
     trying to apply a patch.
-    Default: 2
+    (default: 2)
 
 ``paths``
 ---------
 
 Assigns symbolic names to repositories. The left side is the
 symbolic name, and the right gives the directory or URL that is the
 location of the repository. Default paths can be declared by setting
 the following entries.
 
 ``default``
     Directory or URL to use when pulling if no source is specified.
-    Default is set to repository from which the current repository was
-    cloned.
+    (default: repository from which the current repository was cloned)
 
 ``default-push``
     Optional. Directory or URL to use when pushing if no destination
     is specified.
 
 Custom paths can be defined by assigning the path to a name that later can be
 used from the command line. Example::
 
     [paths]
     my_path = http://example.com/path
 
 To push to the path defined in ``my_path`` run the command::
 
     hg push my_path
 
 
 ``phases``
 ----------
 
 Specifies default handling of phases. See :hg:`help phases` for more
 information about working with phases.
 
 ``publish``
     Controls draft phase behavior when working as a server. When true,
     pushed changesets are set to public in both client and server and
     pulled or cloned changesets are set to public in the client.
-    Default: True
+    (default: True)
 
 ``new-commit``
     Phase of newly-created commits.
-    Default: draft
+    (default: draft)
 
 ``checksubrepos``
     Check the phase of the current revision of each subrepository. Allowed
     values are "ignore", "follow" and "abort". For settings other than
     "ignore", the phase of the current revision of each subrepository is
     checked before committing the parent repository. If any of those phases is
     greater than the phase of the parent repository (e.g. if a subrepo is in a
     "secret" phase while the parent repo is in "draft" phase), the commit is
     either aborted (if checksubrepos is set to "abort") or the higher phase is
     used for the parent repository commit (if set to "follow").
-    Default: "follow"
+    (default: follow)
 
 
 ``profiling``
 -------------
 
 Specifies profiling type, format, and file output. Two profilers are
 supported: an instrumenting profiler (named ``ls``), and a sampling
 profiler (named ``stat``).
 
 In this section description, 'profiling data' stands for the raw data
 collected during profiling, while 'profiling report' stands for a
 statistical text report generated from the profiling data. The
 profiling is done using lsprof.
 
 ``type``
     The type of profiler to use.
-    Default: ls.
+    (default: ls)
 
     ``ls``
       Use Python's built-in instrumenting profiler. This profiler
       works on all platforms, but each line number it reports is the
       first line of a function. This restriction makes it difficult to
       identify the expensive parts of a non-trivial function.
     ``stat``
       Use a third-party statistical profiler, statprof. This profiler
       currently runs only on Unix systems, and is most useful for
       profiling commands that run for longer than about 0.1 seconds.
 
 ``format``
     Profiling format.  Specific to the ``ls`` instrumenting profiler.
-    Default: text.
+    (default: text)
 
     ``text``
       Generate a profiling report. When saving to a file, it should be
       noted that only the report is saved, and the profiling data is
       not kept.
     ``kcachegrind``
       Format profiling data for kcachegrind use: when saving to a
       file, the generated file can directly be loaded into
       kcachegrind.
 
 ``frequency``
     Sampling frequency.  Specific to the ``stat`` sampling profiler.
-    Default: 1000.
+    (default: 1000)
 
 ``output``
     File path where profiling data or report should be saved. If the
-    file exists, it is replaced. Default: None, data is printed on
-    stderr
+    file exists, it is replaced. (default: None, data is printed on
+    stderr)
 
 ``sort``
     Sort field.  Specific to the ``ls`` instrumenting profiler.
     One of ``callcount``, ``reccallcount``, ``totaltime`` and
     ``inlinetime``.
-    Default: inlinetime.
+    (default: inlinetime)
 
 ``limit``
     Number of lines to show. Specific to the ``ls`` instrumenting profiler.
-    Default: 30.
+    (default: 30)
 
 ``nested``
     Show at most this number of lines of drill-down info after each main entry.
     This can help explain the difference between Total and Inline.
     Specific to the ``ls`` instrumenting profiler.
-    Default: 5.
+    (default: 5)
 
 ``progress``
 ------------
 
 Mercurial commands can draw progress bars that are as informative as
 possible. Some progress bars only offer indeterminate information, while others
 have a definite end point.
 
 ``delay``
     Number of seconds (float) before showing the progress bar. (default: 3)
 
 ``changedelay``
     Minimum delay before showing a new topic. When set to less than 3 * refresh,
     that value will be used instead. (default: 1)
 
 ``refresh``
     Time in seconds between refreshes of the progress bar. (default: 0.1)
 
 ``format``
     Format of the progress bar.
 
     Valid entries for the format field are ``topic``, ``bar``, ``number``,
     ``unit``, ``estimate``, speed, and item. item defaults to the last 20
     characters of the item, but this can be changed by adding either ``-<num>``
     which would take the last num characters, or ``+<num>`` for the first num
     characters.
 
     (default: Topic bar number estimate)
 
 ``width``
     If set, the maximum width of the progress information (that is, min(width,
     term width) will be used).
 
 ``clear-complete``
-    clear the progress bar after it's done (default to True)
+    clear the progress bar after it's done. (default: True)
 
 ``disable``
     If true, don't show a progress bar.
 
 ``assume-tty``
     If true, ALWAYS show a progress bar, unless disable is given.
 
 ``revsetalias``
 ---------------
 
 Alias definitions for revsets. See :hg:`help revsets` for details.
 
 ``server``
 ----------
 
 Controls generic server settings.
 
 ``uncompressed``
     Whether to allow clients to clone a repository using the
     uncompressed streaming protocol. This transfers about 40% more
     data than a regular clone, but uses less memory and CPU on both
     server and client. Over a LAN (100 Mbps or better) or a very fast
     WAN, an uncompressed streaming clone is a lot faster (~10x) than a
     regular clone. Over most WAN connections (anything slower than
     about 6 Mbps), uncompressed streaming is slower, because of the
     extra data transfer overhead. This mode will also temporarily hold
     the write lock while determining what data to transfer.
-    Default is True.
+    (default: True)
 
 ``preferuncompressed``
     When set, clients will try to use the uncompressed streaming
-    protocol. Default is False.
+    protocol. (default: False)
 
 ``validate``
     Whether to validate the completeness of pushed changesets by
     checking that all new file revisions specified in manifests are
-    present. Default is False.
+    present. (default: False)
 
 ``maxhttpheaderlen``
     Instruct HTTP clients not to send request headers longer than this
-    many bytes. Default is 1024.
+    many bytes. (default: 1024)
 
 ``smtp``
 --------
 
 Configuration for extensions that need to send email messages.
 
 ``host``
     Host name of mail server, e.g. "mail.example.com".
 
 ``port``
-    Optional. Port to connect to on mail server. Default: 465 (if
-    ``tls`` is smtps) or 25 (otherwise).
+    Optional. Port to connect to on mail server. (default: 465 if
+    ``tls`` is smtps; 25 otherwise)
 
 ``tls``
     Optional. Method to enable TLS when connecting to mail server: starttls,
-    smtps or none. Default: none.
+    smtps or none. (default: none)
 
 ``verifycert``
     Optional. Verification for the certificate of mail server, when
     ``tls`` is starttls or smtps. "strict", "loose" or False. For
     "strict" or "loose", the certificate is verified as same as the
     verification for HTTPS connections (see ``[hostfingerprints]`` and
     ``[web] cacerts`` also). For "strict", sending email is also
     aborted, if there is no configuration for mail server in
     ``[hostfingerprints]`` and ``[web] cacerts``.  --insecure for
-    :hg:`email` overwrites this as "loose". Default: "strict".
+    :hg:`email` overwrites this as "loose". (default: strict)
 
 ``username``
     Optional. User name for authenticating with the SMTP server.
-    Default: none.
+    (default: None)
 
 ``password``
     Optional. Password for authenticating with the SMTP server. If not
     specified, interactive sessions will prompt the user for a
-    password; non-interactive sessions will fail. Default: none.
+    password; non-interactive sessions will fail. (default: None)
 
 ``local_hostname``
     Optional. The hostname that the sender can use to identify
     itself to the MTA.
 
 
 ``subpaths``
 ------------
 
 Subrepository source URLs can go stale if a remote server changes name
 or becomes temporarily unavailable. This section lets you define
 rewrite rules of the form::
 
     <pattern> = <replacement>
 
 where ``pattern`` is a regular expression matching a subrepository
 source URL and ``replacement`` is the replacement string used to
 rewrite it. Groups can be matched in ``pattern`` and referenced in
 ``replacements``. For instance::
 
     http://server/(.*)-hg/ = http://hg.server/\1/
 
 rewrites ``http://server/foo-hg/`` into ``http://hg.server/foo/``.
 
 Relative subrepository paths are first made absolute, and the
 rewrite rules are then applied on the full (absolute) path. The rules
 are applied in definition order.
 
 ``trusted``
 -----------
 
 Mercurial will not use the settings in the
 ``.hg/hgrc`` file from a repository if it doesn't belong to a trusted
 user or to a trusted group, as various hgrc features allow arbitrary
 commands to be run. This issue is often encountered when configuring
 hooks or extensions for shared repositories or servers. However,
 the web interface will use some safe settings from the ``[web]``
 section.
 
 This section specifies what users and groups are trusted. The
 current user is always trusted. To trust everybody, list a user or a
 group with name ``*``. These settings must be placed in an
 *already-trusted file* to take effect, such as ``$HOME/.hgrc`` of the
 user or service running Mercurial.
 
 ``users``
   Comma-separated list of trusted users.
 
 ``groups``
   Comma-separated list of trusted groups.
 
 
 ``ui``
 ------
 
 User interface controls.
 
 ``archivemeta``
     Whether to include the .hg_archival.txt file containing meta data
     (hashes for the repository base and for tip) in archives created
     by the :hg:`archive` command or downloaded via hgweb.
-    Default is True.
+    (default: True)
 
 ``askusername``
     Whether to prompt for a username when committing. If True, and
     neither ``$HGUSER`` nor ``$EMAIL`` has been specified, then the user will
     be prompted to enter a username. If no username is entered, the
     default ``USER@HOST`` is used instead.
-    Default is False.
+    (default: False)
 
 ``commitsubrepos``
     Whether to commit modified subrepositories when committing the
     parent repository. If False and one subrepository has uncommitted
     changes, abort the commit.
-    Default is False.
+    (default: False)
 
 ``debug``
-    Print debugging information. True or False. Default is False.
+    Print debugging information. True or False. (default: False)
 
 ``editor``
-    The editor to use during a commit. Default is ``$EDITOR`` or ``vi``.
+    The editor to use during a commit. (default: ``$EDITOR`` or ``vi``)
 
 ``fallbackencoding``
     Encoding to try if it's not possible to decode the changelog using
-    UTF-8. Default is ISO-8859-1.
+    UTF-8. (default: ISO-8859-1)
 
 ``ignore``
     A file to read per-user ignore patterns from. This file should be
     in the same format as a repository-wide .hgignore file. Filenames
     are relative to the repository root. This option supports hook syntax,
     so if you want to specify multiple ignore files, you can do so by
     setting something like ``ignore.other = ~/.hgignore2``. For details
     of the ignore file format, see the ``hgignore(5)`` man page.
 
 ``interactive``
-    Allow to prompt the user. True or False. Default is True.
+    Allow to prompt the user. True or False. (default: True)
 
 ``logtemplate``
     Template string for commands that print changesets.
 
 ``merge``
     The conflict resolution program to use during a manual merge.
     For more information on merge tools see :hg:`help merge-tools`.
     For configuring merge tools see the ``[merge-tools]`` section.
 
 ``mergemarkers``
     Sets the merge conflict marker label styling. The ``detailed``
     style uses the ``mergemarkertemplate`` setting to style the labels.
     The ``basic`` style just uses 'local' and 'other' as the marker label.
     One of ``basic`` or ``detailed``.
-    Default is ``basic``.
+    (default: ``basic``)
 
 ``mergemarkertemplate``
     The template used to print the commit description next to each conflict
     marker during merge conflicts. See :hg:`help templates` for the template
     format.
 
     Defaults to showing the hash, tags, branches, bookmarks, author, and
     the first line of the commit description.
 
     If you use non-ASCII characters in names for tags, branches, bookmarks,
     authors, and/or commit descriptions, you must pay attention to encodings of
     managed files. At template expansion, non-ASCII characters use the encoding
     specified by the ``--encoding`` global option, ``HGENCODING`` or other
     environment variables that govern your locale. If the encoding of the merge
     markers is different from the encoding of the merged files,
     serious problems may occur.
 
 ``patch``
     An optional external tool that ``hg import`` and some extensions
     will use for applying patches. By default Mercurial uses an
     internal patch utility. The external tool must work as the common
     Unix ``patch`` program. In particular, it must accept a ``-p``
     argument to strip patch headers, a ``-d`` argument to specify the
     current directory, a file name to patch, and a patch file to take
     from stdin.
 
     It is possible to specify a patch tool together with extra
     arguments. For example, setting this option to ``patch --merge``
     will use the ``patch`` program with its 2-way merge option.
 
 ``portablefilenames``
     Check for portable filenames. Can be ``warn``, ``ignore`` or ``abort``.
-    Default is ``warn``.
+    (default: ``warn``)
     If set to ``warn`` (or ``true``), a warning message is printed on POSIX
     platforms, if a file with a non-portable filename is added (e.g. a file
     with a name that can't be created on Windows because it contains reserved
     parts like ``AUX``, reserved characters like ``:``, or would cause a case
     collision with an existing file).
     If set to ``ignore`` (or ``false``), no warning is printed.
     If set to ``abort``, the command is aborted.
     On Windows, this configuration option is ignored and the command aborted.
 
 ``quiet``
-    Reduce the amount of output printed. True or False. Default is False.
+    Reduce the amount of output printed. True or False. (default: False)
 
 ``remotecmd``
-    remote command to use for clone/push/pull operations. Default is ``hg``.
+    remote command to use for clone/push/pull operations. (default: ``hg``)
 
 ``report_untrusted``
     Warn if a ``.hg/hgrc`` file is ignored due to not being owned by a
-    trusted user or group. True or False. Default is True.
+    trusted user or group. True or False. (default: True)
 
 ``slash``
     Display paths using a slash (``/``) as the path separator. This
     only makes a difference on systems where the default path
     separator is not the slash character (e.g. Windows uses the
     backslash character (``\``)).
-    Default is False.
+    (default: False)
 
 ``statuscopies``
     Display copies in the status command.
 
 ``ssh``
-    command to use for SSH connections. Default is ``ssh``.
+    command to use for SSH connections. (default: ``ssh``)
 
 ``strict``
     Require exact command names, instead of allowing unambiguous
-    abbreviations. True or False. Default is False.
+    abbreviations. True or False. (default: False)
 
 ``style``
     Name of style to use for command output.
 
 ``timeout``
     The timeout used when a lock is held (in seconds), a negative value
-    means no timeout. Default is 600.
+    means no timeout. (default: 600)
 
 ``traceback``
     Mercurial always prints a traceback when an unknown exception
     occurs. Setting this to True will make Mercurial print a traceback
     on all exceptions, even those recognized by Mercurial (such as
-    IOError or MemoryError). Default is False.
+    IOError or MemoryError). (default: False)
 
 ``username``
     The committer of a changeset created when running "commit".
     Typically a person's name and email address, e.g. ``Fred Widget
-    <[e-mail]>``. Default is ``$EMAIL`` or ``username@hostname``. If
-    the username in hgrc is empty, it has to be specified manually or
-    in a different hgrc file (e.g. ``$HOME/.hgrc``, if the admin set
-    ``username =``  in the system hgrc). Environment variables in the
+    <[e-mail]>``. Environment variables in the
     username are expanded.
 
+    (default: ``$EMAIL`` or ``username@hostname``. If the username in
+    hgrc is empty, e.g. if the system admin set ``username =``  in the
+    system hgrc, it has to be specified manually or in a different
+    hgrc file)
+
 ``verbose``
-    Increase the amount of output printed. True or False. Default is False.
+    Increase the amount of output printed. True or False. (default: False)
 
 
 ``web``
 -------
 
 Web interface configuration. The settings in this section apply to
 both the builtin webserver (started by :hg:`serve`) and the script you
 run through a webserver (``hgweb.cgi`` and the derivatives for FastCGI
 and WSGI).
 
 The Mercurial webserver does no authentication (it does not prompt for
 usernames and passwords to validate *who* users are), but it does do
 authorization (it grants or denies access for *authenticated users*
 based on settings in this section). You must either configure your
 webserver to do authentication for you, or disable the authorization
 checks.
 
 For a quick setup in a trusted environment, e.g., a private LAN, where
 you want it to accept pushes from anybody, you can use the following
 command line::
 
     $ hg --config web.allow_push=* --config web.push_ssl=False serve
 
 Note that this will allow anybody to push anything to the server and
 that this should not be used for public servers.
 
 The full set of options is:
 
 ``accesslog``
-    Where to output the access log. Default is stdout.
+    Where to output the access log. (default: stdout)
 
 ``address``
-    Interface address to bind to. Default is all.
+    Interface address to bind to. (default: all)
 
 ``allow_archive``
     List of archive format (bz2, gz, zip) allowed for downloading.
-    Default is empty.
+    (default: empty)
 
 ``allowbz2``
     (DEPRECATED) Whether to allow .tar.bz2 downloading of repository
     revisions.
-    Default is False.
+    (default: False)
 
 ``allowgz``
     (DEPRECATED) Whether to allow .tar.gz downloading of repository
     revisions.
-    Default is False.
+    (default: False)
 
 ``allowpull``
-    Whether to allow pulling from the repository. Default is True.
+    Whether to allow pulling from the repository. (default: True)
 
 ``allow_push``
     Whether to allow pushing to the repository. If empty or not set,
     pushing is not allowed. If the special value ``*``, any remote
     user can push, including unauthenticated users. Otherwise, the
     remote user must have been authenticated, and the authenticated
     user name must be present in this list. The contents of the
     allow_push list are examined after the deny_push list.
 
 ``allow_read``
     If the user has not already been denied repository access due to
     the contents of deny_read, this list determines whether to grant
     repository access to the user. If this list is not empty, and the
     user is unauthenticated or not present in the list, then access is
     denied for the user. If the list is empty or not set, then access
     is permitted to all users by default. Setting allow_read to the
     special value ``*`` is equivalent to it not being set (i.e. access
     is permitted to all users). The contents of the allow_read list are
     examined after the deny_read list.
 
 ``allowzip``
     (DEPRECATED) Whether to allow .zip downloading of repository
-    revisions. Default is False. This feature creates temporary files.
+    revisions. This feature creates temporary files.
+    (default: False)
 
 ``archivesubrepos``
-    Whether to recurse into subrepositories when archiving. Default is
-    False.
+    Whether to recurse into subrepositories when archiving.
+    (default: False)
 
 ``baseurl``
     Base URL to use when publishing URLs in other locations, so
     third-party tools like email notification hooks can construct
     URLs. Example: ``http://hgserver/repos/``.
 
 ``cacerts``
     Path to file containing a list of PEM encoded certificate
     authority certificates. Environment variables and ``~user``
     constructs are expanded in the filename. If specified on the
     client, then it will verify the identity of remote HTTPS servers
     with these certificates.
 
     This feature is only supported when using Python 2.6 or later. If you wish
     to use it with earlier versions of Python, install the backported
     version of the ssl library that is available from
     ``http://pypi.python.org``.
 
     To disable SSL verification temporarily, specify ``--insecure`` from
     command line.
 
     You can use OpenSSL's CA certificate file if your platform has
     one. On most Linux systems this will be
     ``/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt``. Otherwise you will have to
     generate this file manually. The form must be as follows::
 
         -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
         ... (certificate in base64 PEM encoding) ...
         -----END CERTIFICATE-----
         -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
         ... (certificate in base64 PEM encoding) ...
         -----END CERTIFICATE-----
 
 ``cache``
-    Whether to support caching in hgweb. Defaults to True.
+    Whether to support caching in hgweb. (default: True)
 
 ``certificate``
     Certificate to use when running :hg:`serve`.
 
 ``collapse``
     With ``descend`` enabled, repositories in subdirectories are shown at
     a single level alongside repositories in the current path. With
     ``collapse`` also enabled, repositories residing at a deeper level than
     the current path are grouped behind navigable directory entries that
     lead to the locations of these repositories. In effect, this setting
     collapses each collection of repositories found within a subdirectory
-    into a single entry for that subdirectory. Default is False.
+    into a single entry for that subdirectory. (default: False)
 
 ``comparisoncontext``
     Number of lines of context to show in side-by-side file comparison. If
-    negative or the value ``full``, whole files are shown. Default is 5.
+    negative or the value ``full``, whole files are shown. (default: 5)
+
     This setting can be overridden by a ``context`` request parameter to the
     ``comparison`` command, taking the same values.
 
 ``contact``
     Name or email address of the person in charge of the repository.
-    Defaults to ui.username or ``$EMAIL`` or "unknown" if unset or empty.
+    (default: ui.username or ``$EMAIL`` or "unknown" if unset or empty)
 
 ``deny_push``
     Whether to deny pushing to the repository. If empty or not set,
     push is not denied. If the special value ``*``, all remote users are
     denied push. Otherwise, unauthenticated users are all denied, and
     any authenticated user name present in this list is also denied. The
     contents of the deny_push list are examined before the allow_push list.
 
 ``deny_read``
     Whether to deny reading/viewing of the repository. If this list is
     not empty, unauthenticated users are all denied, and any
     authenticated user name present in this list is also denied access to
     the repository. If set to the special value ``*``, all remote users
     are denied access (rarely needed ;). If deny_read is empty or not set,
     the determination of repository access depends on the presence and
     content of the allow_read list (see description). If both
     deny_read and allow_read are empty or not set, then access is
     permitted to all users by default. If the repository is being
     served via hgwebdir, denied users will not be able to see it in
     the list of repositories. The contents of the deny_read list have
     priority over (are examined before) the contents of the allow_read
     list.
 
 ``descend``
     hgwebdir indexes will not descend into subdirectories. Only repositories
     directly in the current path will be shown (other repositories are still
     available from the index corresponding to their containing path).
 
 ``description``
     Textual description of the repository's purpose or contents.
-    Default is "unknown".
+    (default: "unknown")
 
 ``encoding``
-    Character encoding name. Default is the current locale charset.
+    Character encoding name. (default: the current locale charset)
     Example: "UTF-8".
 
 ``errorlog``
-    Where to output the error log. Default is stderr.
+    Where to output the error log. (default: stderr)
 
 ``guessmime``
     Control MIME types for raw download of file content.
     Set to True to let hgweb guess the content type from the file
     extension. This will serve HTML files as ``text/html`` and might
     allow cross-site scripting attacks when serving untrusted
-    repositories. Default is False.
+    repositories. (default: False)
 
 ``hidden``
     Whether to hide the repository in the hgwebdir index.
-    Default is False.
+    (default: False)
 
 ``ipv6``
-    Whether to use IPv6. Default is False.
+    Whether to use IPv6. (default: False)
 
 ``logoimg``
     File name of the logo image that some templates display on each page.
     The file name is relative to ``staticurl``. That is, the full path to
     the logo image is "staticurl/logoimg".
     If unset, ``hglogo.png`` will be used.
 
 ``logourl``
     Base URL to use for logos. If unset, ``http://mercurial.selenic.com/``
     will be used.
 
 ``maxchanges``
-    Maximum number of changes to list on the changelog. Default is 10.
+    Maximum number of changes to list on the changelog. (default: 10)
 
 ``maxfiles``
-    Maximum number of files to list per changeset. Default is 10.
+    Maximum number of files to list per changeset. (default: 10)
 
 ``maxshortchanges``
     Maximum number of changes to list on the shortlog, graph or filelog
-    pages. Default is 60.
+    pages. (default: 60)
 
 ``name``
-    Repository name to use in the web interface. Default is current
-    working directory.
+    Repository name to use in the web interface.
+    (default: current working directory)
 
 ``port``
-    Port to listen on. Default is 8000.
+    Port to listen on. (default: 8000)
 
 ``prefix``
-    Prefix path to serve from. Default is '' (server root).
+    Prefix path to serve from. (default: '' (server root))
 
 ``push_ssl``
     Whether to require that inbound pushes be transported over SSL to
-    prevent password sniffing. Default is True.
+    prevent password sniffing. (default: True)
 
 ``refreshinterval``
     How frequently directory listings re-scan the filesystem for new
     repositories, in seconds. This is relevant when wildcards are used
     to define paths. Depending on how much filesystem traversal is
     required, refreshing may negatively impact performance.
 
-    Default is 20. Values less than or equal to 0 always refresh.
+    Values less than or equal to 0 always refresh.
+    (default: 20)
 
 ``staticurl``
     Base URL to use for static files. If unset, static files (e.g. the
     hgicon.png favicon) will be served by the CGI script itself. Use
     this setting to serve them directly with the HTTP server.
     Example: ``http://hgserver/static/``.
 
 ``stripes``
     How many lines a "zebra stripe" should span in multi-line output.
-    Default is 1; set to 0 to disable.
+    Set to 0 to disable. (default: 1)
 
 ``style``
     Which template map style to use. The available options are the names of
-    subdirectories in the HTML templates path. Default is ``paper``.
-    Example: ``monoblue``
+    subdirectories in the HTML templates path. (default: ``paper``)
+    Example: ``monoblue``.
 
 ``templates``
     Where to find the HTML templates. The default path to the HTML templates
     can be obtained from ``hg debuginstall``.
 
 ``websub``
 ----------
 
 Web substitution filter definition. You can use this section to
 define a set of regular expression substitution patterns which
 let you automatically modify the hgweb server output.
 
 The default hgweb templates only apply these substitution patterns
 on the revision description fields. You can apply them anywhere
 you want when you create your own templates by adding calls to the
 "websub" filter (usually after calling the "escape" filter).
 
 This can be used, for example, to convert issue references to links
 to your issue tracker, or to convert "markdown-like" syntax into
 HTML (see the examples below).
 
 Each entry in this section names a substitution filter.
 The value of each entry defines the substitution expression itself.
 The websub expressions follow the old interhg extension syntax,
 which in turn imitates the Unix sed replacement syntax::
 
     patternname = s/SEARCH_REGEX/REPLACE_EXPRESSION/[i]
 
 You can use any separator other than "/". The final "i" is optional
 and indicates that the search must be case insensitive.
 
 Examples::
 
     [websub]
     issues = s|issue(\d+)|<a href="http://bts.example.org/issue\1">issue\1</a>|i
     italic = s/\b_(\S+)_\b/<i>\1<\/i>/
     bold = s/\*\b(\S+)\b\*/<b>\1<\/b>/
 
 ``worker``
 ----------
 
 Parallel master/worker configuration. We currently perform working
 directory updates in parallel on Unix-like systems, which greatly
 helps performance.
 
 ``numcpus``
-    Number of CPUs to use for parallel operations. Default is 4 or the
-    number of CPUs on the system, whichever is larger. A zero or
+    Number of CPUs to use for parallel operations. A zero or
     negative value is treated as ``use the default``.
+    (default: 4 or the number of CPUs on the system, whichever is larger)

   Using Additional Features
   """""""""""""""""""""""""
   
       Mercurial has the ability to add new features through the use of
       extensions. Extensions may add new commands, add options to existing
       commands, change the default behavior of commands, or implement hooks.
   
       To enable the "foo" extension, either shipped with Mercurial or in the
       Python search path, create an entry for it in your configuration file,
       like this:
   
         [extensions]
         foo =
   
       You may also specify the full path to an extension:
   
         [extensions]
         myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py
   
       See "hg help config" for more information on configuration files.
   
       Extensions are not loaded by default for a variety of reasons: they can
       increase startup overhead; they may be meant for advanced usage only; they
       may provide potentially dangerous abilities (such as letting you destroy
       or modify history); they might not be ready for prime time; or they may
       alter some usual behaviors of stock Mercurial. It is thus up to the user
       to activate extensions as needed.
   
       To explicitly disable an extension enabled in a configuration file of
       broader scope, prepend its path with !:
   
         [extensions]
         # disabling extension bar residing in /path/to/extension/bar.py
         bar = !/path/to/extension/bar.py
         # ditto, but no path was supplied for extension baz
         baz = !
   
       enabled extensions:
   
        children      command to display child changesets (DEPRECATED)
        rebase        command to move sets of revisions to a different ancestor

   $ hg help verify
   hg verify
   
   verify the integrity of the repository
   
       Verify the integrity of the current repository.
   
       This will perform an extensive check of the repository's integrity,
       validating the hashes and checksums of each entry in the changelog,
       manifest, and tracked files, as well as the integrity of their crosslinks
       and indices.
   
       Please see http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/RepositoryCorruption for more
       information about recovery from corruption of the repository.
   
       Returns 0 on success, 1 if errors are encountered.
   
   (some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help)
 
   $ hg help diff
   hg diff [OPTION]... ([-c REV] | [-r REV1 [-r REV2]]) [FILE]...
   
   diff repository (or selected files)
   
       Show differences between revisions for the specified files.
   
       Differences between files are shown using the unified diff format.
   
       Note:
          diff may generate unexpected results for merges, as it will default to
          comparing against the working directory's first parent changeset if no
          revisions are specified.
   
       When two revision arguments are given, then changes are shown between
       those revisions. If only one revision is specified then that revision is
       compared to the working directory, and, when no revisions are specified,
       the working directory files are compared to its parent.
   
       Alternatively you can specify -c/--change with a revision to see the
       changes in that changeset relative to its first parent.
   
       Without the -a/--text option, diff will avoid generating diffs of files it
       detects as binary. With -a, diff will generate a diff anyway, probably
       with undesirable results.
   
       Use the -g/--git option to generate diffs in the git extended diff format.
       For more information, read "hg help diffs".
   
       Returns 0 on success.
   
   options ([+] can be repeated):
   
    -r --rev REV [+]         revision
    -c --change REV          change made by revision
    -a --text                treat all files as text
    -g --git                 use git extended diff format
       --nodates             omit dates from diff headers
       --noprefix            omit a/ and b/ prefixes from filenames
    -p --show-function       show which function each change is in
       --reverse             produce a diff that undoes the changes
    -w --ignore-all-space    ignore white space when comparing lines
    -b --ignore-space-change ignore changes in the amount of white space
    -B --ignore-blank-lines  ignore changes whose lines are all blank
    -U --unified NUM         number of lines of context to show
       --stat                output diffstat-style summary of changes
       --root DIR            produce diffs relative to subdirectory
    -I --include PATTERN [+] include names matching the given patterns
    -X --exclude PATTERN [+] exclude names matching the given patterns
    -S --subrepos            recurse into subrepositories
   
   (some details hidden, use --verbose to show complete help)
 
   $ hg help status
   hg status [OPTION]... [FILE]...
   
   aliases: st
   
   show changed files in the working directory
   
       Show status of files in the repository. If names are given, only files
       that match are shown. Files that are clean or ignored or the source of a
       copy/move operation, are not listed unless -c/--clean, -i/--ignored,
       -C/--copies or -A/--all are given. Unless options described with "show
       only ..." are given, the options -mardu are used.
   
       Option -q/--quiet hides untracked (unknown and ignored) files unless
       explicitly requested with -u/--unknown or -i/--ignored.
   
       Note:
          status may appear to disagree with diff if permissions have changed or
          a merge has occurred. The standard diff format does not report
          permission changes and diff only reports changes relative to one merge
          parent.
   
       If one revision is given, it is used as the base revision. If two
       revisions are given, the differences between them are shown. The --change
       option can also be used as a shortcut to list the changed files of a
       revision from its first parent.
   
       The codes used to show the status of files are:
   
         M = modified
         A = added
         R = removed
         C = clean
         ! = missing (deleted by non-hg command, but still tracked)
         ? = not tracked
         I = ignored
           = origin of the previous file (with --copies)
   
       Returns 0 on success.
   
   options ([+] can be repeated):
   
    -A --all                 show status of all files
    -m --modified            show only modified files
    -a --added               show only added files
    -r --removed             show only removed files
    -d --deleted             show only deleted (but tracked) files
    -c --clean               show only files without changes
    -u --unknown             show only unknown (not tracked) files
    -i --ignored             show only ignored files
    -n --no-status           hide status prefix
    -C --copies              show source of copied files
    -0 --print0              end filenames with NUL, for use with xargs

 Test a help topic
 
   $ hg help revs
   Specifying Single Revisions
   """""""""""""""""""""""""""
   
       Mercurial supports several ways to specify individual revisions.
   
       A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative integers are
       treated as sequential offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the tip, -2
       denoting the revision prior to the tip, and so forth.
   
       A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision identifier.
   
       A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a unique
       revision identifier and is referred to as a short-form identifier. A
       short-form identifier is only valid if it is the prefix of exactly one
       full-length identifier.
   
       Any other string is treated as a bookmark, tag, or branch name. A bookmark
       is a movable pointer to a revision. A tag is a permanent name associated
       with a revision. A branch name denotes the tipmost open branch head of
       that branch - or if they are all closed, the tipmost closed head of the
       branch. Bookmark, tag, and branch names must not contain the ":"
       character.
   
       The reserved name "tip" always identifies the most recent revision.
   
       The reserved name "null" indicates the null revision. This is the revision
       of an empty repository, and the parent of revision 0.
   
       The reserved name "." indicates the working directory parent. If no
       working directory is checked out, it is equivalent to null. If an
       uncommitted merge is in progress, "." is the revision of the first parent.
 
 Test repeated config section name
 
   $ hg help config.host
       "http_proxy.host"
           Host name and (optional) port of the proxy server, for example
           "myproxy:8000".
   
       "smtp.host"
           Host name of mail server, e.g. "mail.example.com".
   
 Unrelated trailing paragraphs shouldn't be included
 
   $ hg help config.extramsg | grep '^$'
   
 
 Test capitalized section name
 
   $ hg help scripting.HGPLAIN > /dev/null
 
 Help subsection:
 
   $ hg help config.charsets |grep "Email example:" > /dev/null
   [1]

   $ hg help config.`hg help config|grep '^    "'| \
   >       tail -1|sed 's![ "]*!!g'`| \
   >   grep "hg help -c config" > /dev/null
   [1]
 
 note to use help -c for general hg help config:
 
   $ hg help config |grep "hg help -c config" > /dev/null
 
 Test templating help
 
   $ hg help templating | egrep '(desc|diffstat|firstline|nonempty)  '
       desc          String. The text of the changeset description.
       diffstat      String. Statistics of changes with the following format:
       firstline     Any text. Returns the first line of text.
       nonempty      Any text. Returns '(none)' if the string is empty.

   $ hg help glossary.dag
       DAG
           The repository of changesets of a distributed version control system
           (DVCS) can be described as a directed acyclic graph (DAG), consisting
           of nodes and edges, where nodes correspond to changesets and edges
           imply a parent -> child relation. This graph can be visualized by
           graphical tools such as "hg log --graph". In Mercurial, the DAG is
           limited by the requirement for children to have at most two parents.
   
 
   $ hg help hgrc.paths
       "paths"
       -------
   
       Assigns symbolic names to repositories. The left side is the symbolic
       name, and the right gives the directory or URL that is the location of the
       repository. Default paths can be declared by setting the following
       entries.
   
       "default"
           Directory or URL to use when pulling if no source is specified.
-          Default is set to repository from which the current repository was
-          cloned.
+          (default: repository from which the current repository was cloned)
   
       "default-push"
           Optional. Directory or URL to use when pushing if no destination is
           specified.
   
       Custom paths can be defined by assigning the path to a name that later can
       be used from the command line. Example:
   
         [paths]
         my_path = http://example.com/path
   
       To push to the path defined in "my_path" run the command:

 Test dynamic list of merge tools only shows up once
   $ hg help merge-tools
   Merge Tools
   """""""""""
   
       To merge files Mercurial uses merge tools.
   
       A merge tool combines two different versions of a file into a merged file.
       Merge tools are given the two files and the greatest common ancestor of
       the two file versions, so they can determine the changes made on both
       branches.
   
       Merge tools are used both for "hg resolve", "hg merge", "hg update", "hg
       backout" and in several extensions.
   
       Usually, the merge tool tries to automatically reconcile the files by
       combining all non-overlapping changes that occurred separately in the two
       different evolutions of the same initial base file. Furthermore, some
       interactive merge programs make it easier to manually resolve conflicting
       merges, either in a graphical way, or by inserting some conflict markers.
       Mercurial does not include any interactive merge programs but relies on
       external tools for that.
   
       Available merge tools
       =====================
   
       External merge tools and their properties are configured in the merge-
       tools configuration section - see hgrc(5) - but they can often just be
       named by their executable.
   
       A merge tool is generally usable if its executable can be found on the
       system and if it can handle the merge. The executable is found if it is an
       absolute or relative executable path or the name of an application in the
       executable search path. The tool is assumed to be able to handle the merge
       if it can handle symlinks if the file is a symlink, if it can handle
       binary files if the file is binary, and if a GUI is available if the tool
       requires a GUI.
   
       There are some internal merge tools which can be used. The internal merge
       tools are:
   
       ":dump"
         Creates three versions of the files to merge, containing the contents of
         local, other and base. These files can then be used to perform a merge
         manually. If the file to be merged is named "a.txt", these files will
         accordingly be named "a.txt.local", "a.txt.other" and "a.txt.base" and
         they will be placed in the same directory as "a.txt".
   
       ":fail"
         Rather than attempting to merge files that were modified on both
         branches, it marks them as unresolved. The resolve command must be used
         to resolve these conflicts.
   
       ":local"
         Uses the local version of files as the merged version.
   
       ":merge"
         Uses the internal non-interactive simple merge algorithm for merging
         files. It will fail if there are any conflicts and leave markers in the
         partially merged file. Markers will have two sections, one for each side
         of merge.
   
       ":merge3"
         Uses the internal non-interactive simple merge algorithm for merging
         files. It will fail if there are any conflicts and leave markers in the
         partially merged file. Marker will have three sections, one from each
         side of the merge and one for the base content.
   
       ":other"
         Uses the other version of files as the merged version.
   
       ":prompt"
         Asks the user which of the local or the other version to keep as the
         merged version.
   
       ":tagmerge"
         Uses the internal tag merge algorithm (experimental).
   
       ":union"
         Uses the internal non-interactive simple merge algorithm for merging
         files. It will use both left and right sides for conflict regions. No
         markers are inserted.
   
       Internal tools are always available and do not require a GUI but will by
       default not handle symlinks or binary files.
   
       Choosing a merge tool
       =====================
   
       Mercurial uses these rules when deciding which merge tool to use:
   
       1. If a tool has been specified with the --tool option to merge or
          resolve, it is used.  If it is the name of a tool in the merge-tools
          configuration, its configuration is used. Otherwise the specified tool
          must be executable by the shell.
       2. If the "HGMERGE" environment variable is present, its value is used and
          must be executable by the shell.
       3. If the filename of the file to be merged matches any of the patterns in
          the merge-patterns configuration section, the first usable merge tool
          corresponding to a matching pattern is used. Here, binary capabilities
          of the merge tool are not considered.
       4. If ui.merge is set it will be considered next. If the value is not the
          name of a configured tool, the specified value is used and must be
          executable by the shell. Otherwise the named tool is used if it is
          usable.
       5. If any usable merge tools are present in the merge-tools configuration
          section, the one with the highest priority is used.
       6. If a program named "hgmerge" can be found on the system, it is used -
          but it will by default not be used for symlinks and binary files.
       7. If the file to be merged is not binary and is not a symlink, then
          internal ":merge" is used.
       8. The merge of the file fails and must be resolved before commit.
   
       Note:
          After selecting a merge program, Mercurial will by default attempt to
          merge the files using a simple merge algorithm first. Only if it
          doesn't succeed because of conflicting changes Mercurial will actually
          execute the merge program. Whether to use the simple merge algorithm
          first can be controlled by the premerge setting of the merge tool.
          Premerge is enabled by default unless the file is binary or a symlink.
   
       See the merge-tools and ui sections of hgrc(5) for details on the
       configuration of merge tools.

   <p>
   This command schedules the files to be removed at the next commit.
   To undo a remove before that, see &quot;hg revert&quot;. To undo added
   files, see &quot;hg forget&quot;.

   -A/--after can be used to remove only files that have already

   can be used to remove files from the next revision without
   deleting them from the working directory.

   The following table details the behavior of remove for different
   file states (columns) and option combinations (rows). The file
   states are Added [A], Clean [C], Modified [M] and Missing [!]
   (as reported by &quot;hg status&quot;). The actions are Warn, Remove
   (from branch) and Delete (from disk):

   <h1>Specifying Single Revisions</h1>
   <p>
   Mercurial supports several ways to specify individual revisions.
   </p>
   <p>
   A plain integer is treated as a revision number. Negative integers are
   treated as sequential offsets from the tip, with -1 denoting the tip,
   -2 denoting the revision prior to the tip, and so forth.
   </p>
   <p>
   A 40-digit hexadecimal string is treated as a unique revision
   identifier.
   </p>
   <p>
   A hexadecimal string less than 40 characters long is treated as a
   unique revision identifier and is referred to as a short-form
   identifier. A short-form identifier is only valid if it is the prefix
   of exactly one full-length identifier.
   </p>
   <p>
   Any other string is treated as a bookmark, tag, or branch name. A
   bookmark is a movable pointer to a revision. A tag is a permanent name
   associated with a revision. A branch name denotes the tipmost open branch head
   of that branch - or if they are all closed, the tipmost closed head of the
   branch. Bookmark, tag, and branch names must not contain the &quot;:&quot; character.
   </p>
   <p>
   The reserved name &quot;tip&quot; always identifies the most recent revision.
   </p>
   <p>
   The reserved name &quot;null&quot; indicates the null revision. This is the
   revision of an empty repository, and the parent of revision 0.
   </p>
   <p>
   The reserved name &quot;.&quot; indicates the working directory parent. If no
   working directory is checked out, it is equivalent to null. If an
   uncommitted merge is in progress, &quot;.&quot; is the revision of the first
   parent.
