phabricator: use .arcconfig for the callsign if not set locally (issue6243)...
phabricator: use .arcconfig for the callsign if not set locally (issue6243) This makes things easier for people working with more than one repository because this file can be committed to each repository. The bug report asks to read <repo>/.arcrc, but AFAICT, that file lives in ~/ and holds the credentials. And we already track an .arcconfig file. Any callsign set globally is still used if that is all that is present, but .arcconfig will override it if available. The idea behind letting the local hgrc override .arcconfig is that the developer may need to do testing against another server, and not dirty the working directory. Originally I was going to just try to read the callsign in `getrepophid()` if it wasn't present in the hg config. That works fine, but I think it also makes sense to read the URL from this file too. That would have worked less well because `readurltoken()` doesn't have access to the repo object to know where to find the file. Supplimenting the config mechanism is less magical because it reports the source and value of the properties used, and it doesn't need to read the file twice. Invalid hgrc files generally cause the program to abort. I only flagged it as a warning here because it's not our config file, not crucial to the whole program operating, and really shouldn't be corrupt in the typical case where it is checked into the repo.

Mercurial for Plan 9 from Bell Labs
===================================

This directory contains support for Mercurial on Plan 9 from Bell Labs
platforms. It is assumed that the version of Python running on these
systems supports the ANSI/POSIX Environment (APE). At the time of this
writing, the bichued/python port is the most commonly installed version
of Python on these platforms. If a native port of Python is ever made,
some minor modification will need to be made to support some of the more
esoteric requirements of the platform rather than those currently made
(cf. posix.py).

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

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

Some work remains with regard to documentation. Section 5 manual page
references for hgignore and hgrc need to be re-numbered to section 6 (file
formats) and a new man page writer should be written to support the
Plan 9 man macro set. Until these issues can be resolved, manual pages
are elided from the installation.

Basic install:

% mk install # do a system-wide install
% hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
% hg # see help

A proto(2) file is included in this directory as an example of how a
binary distribution could be packaged, ostensibly with contrib(1).

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
