HGRC(5)                        Mercurial Manual                        HGRC(5)

NAME
       hgrc - configuration files for Mercurial

DESCRIPTION
       The  Mercurial  system uses a set of configuration files to control as-
       pects of its behavior.

TROUBLESHOOTING
       If you're having problems with your configuration, hg  config  --source
       can  help  you understand what is introducing a setting into your envi-
       ronment.

       See hg help  config.syntax and  hg  help  config.files for  information
       about how and where to override things.

STRUCTURE
       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 <firstname.lastname@example.net>
       verbose = True

       The  above  entries  will be referred to as ui.username and ui.verbose,
       respectively. See hg help config.syntax.

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 ap-
       propriate configuration files yourself:

       Local configuration is  put  into  the  per-repository  <repo>/.hg/hgrc
       file.

       Global configuration like the username setting is typically put into:

       • %USERPROFILE%\mercurial.ini (on Windows)

       • $HOME/.hgrc (on Unix, Plan9)

       The names of these files depend on the system on which Mercurial is in-
       stalled. *.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.

       On Unix, the following files are consulted:

       • <repo>/.hg/hgrc-not-shared (per-repository)

       • <repo>/.hg/hgrc (per-repository)

       • $HOME/.hgrc (per-user)

       • ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/hg/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>/*.rc (defaults)

       On Windows, the following files are consulted:

       • <repo>/.hg/hgrc-not-shared (per-repository)

       • <repo>/.hg/hgrc (per-repository)

       • %USERPROFILE%\.hgrc (per-user)

       • %USERPROFILE%\Mercurial.ini (per-user)

       • %HOME%\.hgrc (per-user)

       • %HOME%\Mercurial.ini (per-user)

       • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mercurial (per-system)

       • <install-dir>\hgrc.d\*.rc (per-installation)

       • <install-dir>\Mercurial.ini (per-installation)

       • %PROGRAMDATA%\Mercurial\hgrc (per-system)

       • %PROGRAMDATA%\Mercurial\Mercurial.ini (per-system)

       • %PROGRAMDATA%\Mercurial\hgrc.d\*.rc (per-system)

       • <internal>/*.rc (defaults)

       Note   The registry key  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mercu-
              rial is used when running 32-bit Python on 64-bit Windows.

       On Plan9, the following files are consulted:

       • <repo>/.hg/hgrc-not-shared (per-repository)

       • <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>/*.rc (defaults)

       Per-repository configuration options only apply in a particular reposi-
       tory. 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 be-
       long to a trusted user or to a trusted group. See hg help config.trust-
       ed for more details.

       Per-user configuration file(s) are for the user running Mercurial.  Op-
       tions  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 Mercu-
       rial 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  exe-
       cuted  by  any  user  in any directory. Options in these files override
       per-installation options.

       Mercurial comes with some default configuration. The default configura-
       tion  files are installed with Mercurial and will be overwritten on up-
       grades. 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.

       On  versions  5.7  and  later,  if share-safe functionality is enabled,
       shares   will   read    config    file    of    share    source    too.
       <share-source/.hg/hgrc> is read before reading <repo/.hg/hgrc>.

       For  configs  which  should  not  be shared, <repo/.hg/hgrc-not-shared>
       should be used.

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 overrid-
       ing 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 in-
       cluded files can include other files. Filenames  are  relative  to  the
       configuration  file in which the %include directive is found.  Environ-
       ment 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 Mer-
       curial  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  com-
       mands  (or  aliases),  optionally including arguments. Positional argu-
       ments 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 re: | xargs -0 rm -f

       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 use-
       ful 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 be-
              fore 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 hg help config.diff for related options for
       the diff command.

       ignorews

              Ignore white space when comparing lines.

       ignorewseol

              Ignore white space at the end of a line when comparing lines.

       ignorewsamount

              Ignore changes in the amount of white space.

       ignoreblanklines

              Ignore changes whose lines are all blank.

   auth
       Authentication credentials and other authentication-like  configuration
       for  HTTP  connections.  This section allows you to store usernames and
       passwords for use when logging into HTTP  servers.  See  hg  help  con-
       fig.web if you want to configure who can login to your HTTP server.

       The following options apply to all hosts.

       cookiefile

              Path  to a file containing HTTP cookie lines. Cookies matching a
              host will be sent automatically.

              The file format uses the Mozilla cookies.txt format,  which  de-
              fines  cookies  on  their own lines. Each line contains 7 fields
              delimited by the tab character (domain, is_domain_cookie,  path,
              is_secure,  expires, name, value). For more info, do an Internet
              search for "Netscape cookies.txt format."

              Note: the cookies parser does not handle  port  numbers  on  do-
              mains.  You  will  need  to remove ports from the domain for the
              cookie to be recognized.  This could result in  a  cookie  being
              disclosed to an unwanted server.

              The cookies file is read-only.

       Other  options in this section are grouped by name and have the follow-
       ing format:

       <name>.<argument> = <value>

       where <name> is used to group arguments  into  authentication  entries.
       Example:

       foo.prefix = hg.intevation.de/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 in-
              cludes 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 au-
              thentication 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)

       If  no suitable authentication entry is found, the user is prompted for
       credentials as usual if required by the remote.

   cmdserver
       Controls command server settings. (ADVANCED)

       message-encodings

              List of encodings for the m (message) channel. The first  encod-
              ing  supported  by the server will be selected and advertised in
              the hello message. This is useful only when ui.message-output is
              set to channel. Supported encodings are cbor.

       shutdown-on-interrupt

              If  set  to  false, the server's main loop will continue running
              after SIGINT received. runcommand requests can still  be  inter-
              rupted  by  SIGINT. Close the write end of the pipe to shut down
              the server process gracefully.  (default: True)

   color
       Configure the Mercurial color mode. For details  about  how  to  define
       your custom effect and style see hg help color.

       mode

              String:  control  the  method used to output color. One of auto,
              ansi, win32, terminfo or debug. In auto mode, Mercurial will use
              ANSI  mode  by default (or win32 mode prior to Windows 10) if it
              detects a terminal. Any invalid value will disable color.

       pagermode

              String: optional override of color.mode used with pager.

              On some systems, terminfo mode may  cause  problems  when  using
              color  with  less -R as a pager program. less with the -R option
              will only display ECMA-48 color codes,  and  terminfo  mode  may
              sometimes  emit codes that less doesn't understand. You can work
              around this by either using ansi mode (or auto mode), or by  us-
              ing less -r (which will pass through all terminal control codes,
              not just color control codes).

              On some systems (such as MSYS in Windows), the terminal may sup-
              port a different color mode than the pager program.

   commands
       commit.post-status

              Show  status  of files in the working directory after successful
              commit.  (default: False)

       merge.require-rev

              Require that the revision to merge the current  commit  with  be
              specified on the command line. If this is enabled and a revision
              is not specified, the command aborts.  (default: False)

       push.require-revs

              Require revisions to push be specified using one or more  mecha-
              nisms  such as specifying them positionally on the command line,
              using  -r,  -b,  and/or  -B  on  the  command  line,  or   using
              paths.<path>:pushrev  in  the  configuration. If this is enabled
              and revisions are not specified, the command aborts.   (default:
              False)

       resolve.confirm

              Confirm before performing action if no filename is passed.  (de-
              fault: False)

       resolve.explicit-re-merge

              Require uses of hg resolve to specify  which  action  it  should
              perform,  instead  of  re-merging  files  by default.  (default:
              False)

       resolve.mark-check

              Determines what level of checking hg resolve --mark will perform
              before  marking  files  as  resolved.  Valid  values  are none`,
              ``warn, and abort.  warn  will  output  a  warning  listing  the
              file(s) that still have conflict markers in them, but will still
              mark everything resolved.  abort will output  the  same  warning
              but  will  not  mark things as resolved.  If --all is passed and
              this is set to abort, only a warning will  be  shown  (an  error
              will not be raised).  (default: none)

       status.relative

              Make  paths  in  hg status output relative to the current direc-
              tory.  (default: False)

       status.terse

              Default value for the --terse flag, which condenses status  out-
              put.  (default: empty)

       update.check

              Determines  what level of checking hg update will perform before
              moving to a destination revision. Valid values are abort,  none,
              linear, and noconflict.

              • abort  always  fails  if the working directory has uncommitted
                changes.

              • none performs no checking, and may result in a merge with  un-
                committed changes.

              • linear allows any update as long as it follows a straight line
                in the revision history, and may trigger a merge  with  uncom-
                mitted changes.

              • noconflict  will  allow  any  update which would not trigger a
                merge with uncommitted changes, if any are present.

              (default: linear)

       update.requiredest

              Require that the user pass a destination when running hg update.
              For  example,  hg update .:: will be allowed, but a plain hg up-
              date will be disallowed.  (default: False)

   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")}

       diff()

              String: show the diff (see hg help templates for detail)

       Sometimes it is helpful to show the diff of the changeset in the editor
       without having to prefix 'HG: ' to each line so that highlighting works
       correctly. For this, Mercurial provides a special string which will ig-
       nore everything below it:

       HG: ------------------------ >8 ------------------------

       For  example, the template configuration below will show the diff below
       the extra message:

       [committemplate]
       changeset = {desc}\n\n
           HG: Enter commit message.  Lines beginning with 'HG:' are removed.
           HG: {extramsg}
           HG: ------------------------ >8 ------------------------
           HG: Do not touch the line above.
           HG: Everything below will be removed.
           {diff()}

       Note   For some problematic encodings (see hg  help  win32mbcs for  de-
              tail),  this  customization  should  be configured carefully, to
              avoid showing broken characters.

              For example, if a  multibyte  character  ending  with  backslash
              (0x5c)  is followed by the ASCII character 'n' in the customized
              template, the sequence  of  backslash  and  'n'  is  treated  as
              line-feed  unexpectedly  (and the multibyte character is broken,
              too).

       Customized template is used for  commands  below  (--edit  may  be  re-
       quired):

       • hg backouthg commithg fetch (for merge commit only)

       • hg grafthg histedithg importhg qfold, hg qnew and hg qrefreshhg rebasehg shelvehg signhg taghg 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 backoutchangeset.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 signchangeset.graft for hg graftchangeset.histedit.edit for edit of hg histeditchangeset.histedit.fold for fold of hg histeditchangeset.histedit.mess for mess of hg histeditchangeset.histedit.pick for pick of hg histeditchangeset.import.bypass for hg import --bypasschangeset.import.normal.merge for hg import on merges

       • changeset.import.normal.normal for hg import on other

       • changeset.mq.qnew for hg qnewchangeset.mq.qfold for hg qfoldchangeset.mq.qrefresh for hg qrefreshchangeset.rebase.collapse for hg rebase --collapsechangeset.rebase.merge for hg rebase on merges

       • changeset.rebase.normal for hg rebase on other

       • changeset.shelve.shelve for hg shelvechangeset.tag.add for hg tag without --removechangeset.tag.remove for hg tag --removechangeset.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.

       When the external editor is invoked for  a  commit,  the  corresponding
       dot-separated  list  of  names without the changeset. prefix (e.g. com-
       mit.normal.normal) is in the HGEDITFORM environment variable.

       In this section, items other than changeset can be referred  from  oth-
       ers.  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  typi-
       cally  be  used for newline processing or other localization/canonical-
       ization of files.

       Filters consist of a filter pattern followed by a filter command.  Fil-
       ter  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  match-
       ing filter applies.

       The  filter  command  can start with a specifier, either pipe: or temp-
       file:. 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 trans-
       late  line  ending characters between Windows (CRLF) and Unix (LF) for-
       mat. 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 defin-
       ing  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 hg help config.annotate 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.

       word-diff

              Highlight changed words.

   email
       Settings for extensions that send email messages.

       from

              Optional.  Email  address to use in "From" header and SMTP enve-
              lope 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 con-
              venient for recipients. Addresses, headers, and parts  not  con-
              taining  patches  of  outgoing  messages  will be encoded in the
              first character set to  which  conversion  from  local  encoding
              ($HGENCODING,  ui.fallbackencoding) succeeds. If correct conver-
              sion 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 <joe.user@example.com>
       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 churn extension will get loaded from Mercurial's path)
       churn =
       # (this extension will get loaded from the file specified)
       myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py

       If  an extension fails to load, a warning will be issued, and Mercurial
       will proceed. To enforce that an extension must be loaded, one can  set
       the required suboption in the config:

       [extensions]
       myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py
       myfeature:required = yes

       To debug extension loading issue, one can add --traceback to their mer-
       curial invocation.

       A default setting can we set using the special * extension key:

       [extensions]
       *:required = yes
       myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py
       rebase=

   format
       Configuration that controls the repository format. Newer format options
       are  more powerful, but incompatible with some older versions of Mercu-
       rial. Format options are considered at repository initialization  only.
       You  need  to  make a new clone for config changes to be taken into ac-
       count.

       For more details about repository format and version compatibility, see
       https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/MissingRequirement

       usegeneraldelta

              Enable or disable the "generaldelta" repository format which im-
              proves repository compression  by  allowing  "revlog"  to  store
              deltas  against  arbitrary  revisions  instead of the previously
              stored one. This provides significant improvement for  reposito-
              ries with branches.

              Repositories  with this on-disk format require Mercurial version
              1.9.

              Enabled by default.

       dotencode

              Enable or disable the "dotencode" repository  format  which  en-
              hances  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.

              Repositories  with this on-disk format require Mercurial version
              1.7.

              Enabled by default.

       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  re-
              served names, e.g. "nul".

              Repositories  with this on-disk format require Mercurial version
              1.1.

              Enabled by default.

       use-dirstate-v2

              Enable or disable the experimental  "dirstate-v2"  feature.  The
              dirstate  functionality  is  shared  by all commands interacting
              with the working copy.  The new version is more  robust,  faster
              and stores more information.

              The  performance-improving  version of this feature is currently
              only implemented in Rust (see hg help rust), so people not using
              a  version of Mercurial compiled with the Rust parts might actu-
              ally suffer some slowdown.  For this reason, such versions  will
              by  default refuse to access repositories with "dirstate-v2" en-
              abled.

              This behavior can be adjusted via configuration: check  hg  help
              config.storage.dirstate-v2.slow-path for details.

              Repositories  with  this on-disk format require Mercurial 6.0 or
              above.

              By default this format variant is disabled if the fast implemen-
              tation  is not available, and enabled by default if the fast im-
              plementation is available.

              To accomodate installations of Mercurial without the fast imple-
              mentation,  you  can downgrade your repository. To do so run the
              following command:

              $ hg debugupgraderepo
                     --run  --config   format.use-dirstate-v2=False   --config
                     storage.dirstate-v2.slow-path=allow

              For   a   more   comprehensive   guide,   see   hg  help  inter-
              nals.dirstate-v2.

       use-dirstate-v2.automatic-upgrade-of-mismatching-repositories

              When enabled, an automatic upgrade  will  be  triggered  when  a
              repository format does not match its use-dirstate-v2 config.

              This  is  an advanced behavior that most users will not need. We
              recommend you don't use this unless you are a seasoned  adminis-
              trator of a Mercurial install base.

              Automatic  upgrade  means that any process accessing the reposi-
              tory will upgrade the repository format to use dirstate-v2. This
              only triggers if a change is needed. This also applies to opera-
              tions that would have been read-only (like hg status).

              If the repository cannot be locked, the automatic-upgrade opera-
              tion will be skipped. The next operation will attempt it again.

              This configuration will apply for moves in any direction, either
              adding the dirstate-v2 format if  format.use-dirstate-v2=yes  or
              removing     the     dirstate-v2     requirement     if     for-
              mat.use-dirstate-v2=no. So we recommend setting both this  value
              and format.use-dirstate-v2 at the same time.

       use-dirstate-v2.automatic-upgrade-of-mismatching-repositories:quiet

              Hide message when performing such automatic upgrade.

       use-dirstate-tracked-hint

              Enable  or  disable  the writing of "tracked key" file alongside
              the dirstate.  (default to disabled)

              That "tracked-hint" can  help  external  automations  to  detect
              changes to the set of tracked files. (i.e the result of hg files
              or hg status -macd)

              The tracked-hint is written in a new  .hg/dirstate-tracked-hint.
              That  file contains two lines: - the first line is the file ver-
              sion  (currently:  1),  -   the   second   line   contains   the
              "tracked-hint".   That  file is written right after the dirstate
              is written.

              The tracked-hint changes whenever the set of file tracked in the
              dirstate  changes. The general idea is: - if the hint is identi-
              cal, the set of tracked file SHOULD be identical, - if the  hint
              is different, the set of tracked file MIGHT be different.

              The "hint is identical" case uses SHOULD as the dirstate and the
              hint file are two distinct files and therefore  that  cannot  be
              read  or  written  to in an atomic way. If the key is identical,
              nothing garantees that the dirstate is not updated  right  after
              the  hint  file.  This is considered a negligible limitation for
              the intended usecase. It is actually possible  to  prevent  this
              race by taking the repository lock during read operations.

              They are two "ways" to use this feature:

              1)  monitoring  changes to the .hg/dirstate-tracked-hint, if the
              file changes, the tracked set might have changed.

              2. storing the value and comparing it to a later value.

       use-dirstate-tracked-hint.automatic-upgrade-of-mismatching-repositories

              When enabled, an automatic upgrade  will  be  triggered  when  a
              repository  format  does not match its use-dirstate-tracked-hint
              config.

              This is an advanced behavior that most users will not  need.  We
              recommend  you don't use this unless you are a seasoned adminis-
              trator of a Mercurial install base.

              Automatic upgrade means that any process accessing  the  reposi-
              tory    will    upgrade    the    repository   format   to   use
              dirstate-tracked-hint. This only triggers if a change is needed.
              This  also  applies to operations that would have been read-only
              (like hg status).

              If the repository cannot be locked, the automatic-upgrade opera-
              tion will be skipped. The next operation will attempt it again.

              This configuration will apply for moves in any direction, either
              adding    the    dirstate-tracked-hint    format     if     for-
              mat.use-dirstate-tracked-hint=yes      or      removing      the
              dirstate-tracked-hint        requirement         if         for-
              mat.use-dirstate-tracked-hint=no.  So  we recommend setting both
              this value  and  format.use-dirstate-tracked-hint  at  the  same
              time.

       use-persistent-nodemap

              Enable or disable the  "persistent-nodemap"  feature  which  im-
              proves performance if the Rust extensions are available.

              The  "persistent-nodemap"  persist the "node -> rev" on disk re-
              moving the need to dynamically build that mapping for each  Mer-
              curial  invocation.  This significantly reduces the startup cost
              of various local and server-side operation for larger  reposito-
              ries.

              The  performance-improving  version of this feature is currently
              only implemented in Rust (see hg help rust), so people not using
              a  version of Mercurial compiled with the Rust parts might actu-
              ally suffer some slowdown.  For this reason, such versions  will
              by   default   refuse   to  access  repositories  with  "persis-
              tent-nodemap".

              This behavior can be adjusted via configuration: check  hg  help
              config.storage.revlog.persistent-nodemap.slow-path for details.

              Repositories  with  this on-disk format require Mercurial 5.4 or
              above.

              By default this format variant is disabled if the fast implemen-
              tation  is not available, and enabled by default if the fast im-
              plementation is available.

              To accomodate installations of Mercurial without the fast imple-
              mentation,  you  can downgrade your repository. To do so run the
              following command:

              $ hg debugupgraderepo
                     --run --config format.use-persistent-nodemap=False --con-
                     fig storage.revlog.persistent-nodemap.slow-path=allow

       use-share-safe

              Enforce  "safe"  behaviors  for  all  "shares"  that access this
              repository.

              With this feature, "shares" using this repository  as  a  source
              will:

              • read      the      source      repository's      configuration
                (<source>/.hg/hgrc).

              • read and use the source  repository's  "requirements"  (except
                the working copy specific one).

              Without this feature, "shares" using this repository as a source
              will:

              • keep tracking the repository "requirements" in the share only,
                ignoring  the  source  "requirements", possibly diverging from
                them.

              • ignore source repository config.  This  can  create  problems,
                like silently ignoring important hooks.

              Beware that existing shares will not be upgraded/downgraded, and
              by default, Mercurial will refuse to interact  with  them  until
              the  mismatch  is  resolved.  See hg help config.share.safe-mis-
              match.source-safe and     hg     help     config.share.safe-mis-
              match.source-not-safe for details.

              Introduced in Mercurial 5.7.

              Enabled by default in Mercurial 6.1.

       use-share-safe.automatic-upgrade-of-mismatching-repositories

              When  enabled,  an  automatic  upgrade  will be triggered when a
              repository format does not match its use-share-safe config.

              This is an advanced behavior that most users will not  need.  We
              recommend  you don't use this unless you are a seasoned adminis-
              trator of a Mercurial install base.

              Automatic upgrade means that any process accessing  the  reposi-
              tory  will upgrade the repository format to use share-safe. This
              only triggers if a change is needed. This also applies to opera-
              tion that would have been read-only (like hg status).

              If the repository cannot be locked, the automatic-upgrade opera-
              tion will be skipped. The next operation will attempt it again.

              This configuration will apply for moves in any direction, either
              adding the share-safe format if format.use-share-safe=yes or re-
              moving the share-safe requirement  if  format.use-share-safe=no.
              So   we   recommend   setting   both   this   value   and   for-
              mat.use-share-safe at the same time.

       usestore

              Enable or disable the "store" repository format  which  improves
              compatibility  with  systems  that fold case or otherwise mangle
              filenames. Disabling this option will allow you to store  longer
              filenames in some situations at the expense of compatibility.

              Repositories  with this on-disk format require Mercurial version
              0.9.4.

              Enabled by default.

       sparse-revlog

              Enable or disable the sparse-revlog delta strategy. This  format
              improves  delta re-use inside revlog. For very branchy reposito-
              ries, it results in a smaller store. For repositories with  many
              revisions,  it  also helps performance (by using shortened delta
              chains.)

              Repositories with this on-disk format require Mercurial  version
              4.7

              Enabled by default.

       revlog-compression

              Compression  algorithm used by revlog. Supported values are zlib
              and zstd. The zlib engine is the historical  default  of  Mercu-
              rial.  zstd  is  a  newer  format that is usually a net win over
              zlib, operating faster at better compression rates. Use zstd  to
              reduce  CPU  usage.  Multiple values can be specified, the first
              available one will be used.

              On some systems, the Mercurial installation may lack  zstd  sup-
              port.

              Default is zstd if available, zlib otherwise.

       bookmarks-in-store

              Store  bookmarks  in  .hg/store/.  This means that bookmarks are
              shared when using hg share regardless of the -B option.

              Repositories with this on-disk format require Mercurial  version
              5.1.

              Disabled by default.

   graph
       Web  graph  view  configuration. This section let you change graph ele-
       ments 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
       ###  control HGPLAIN setting when running autobuild hook
       # HGPLAIN always set (default from Mercurial 5.7)
       incoming.autobuild:run-with-plain = yes
       # HGPLAIN never set
       incoming.autobuild:run-with-plain = no
       # HGPLAIN inherited from environment (default before Mercurial 5.7)
       incoming.autobuild:run-with-plain = auto

       Most  hooks are run with environment variables set that give useful ad-
       ditional information. For each hook below, the environment variables it
       is  passed  are listed with names in the form $HG_foo. The $HG_HOOKTYPE
       and $HG_HOOKNAME variables are set for all  hooks.   They  contain  the
       type  of  hook which triggered the run and the full name of the hook in
       the config, respectively. In the example above, this will be  $HG_HOOK-
       TYPE=incoming and $HG_HOOKNAME=incoming.email.

       Some  basic  Unix syntax can be enabled for portability, including $VAR
       and ${VAR} style variables.  A ~ followed by \ or / will be expanded to
       %USERPROFILE%  to simulate a subset of tilde expansion on Unix.  To use
       a literal $ or ~, it must be escaped with a back slash or inside  of  a
       strong  quote.   Strong  quotes will be replaced by double quotes after
       processing.

       This feature is enabled by adding a prefix of  tonative.  to  the  hook
       name on a new line, and setting it to True.  For example:

       [hooks]
       incoming.autobuild = /my/build/hook
       # enable translation to cmd.exe syntax for autobuild hook
       tonative.incoming.autobuild = True

       changegroup

              Run  after a changegroup has been added via push, pull or unbun-
              dle.  The ID of the first new changeset is in $HG_NODE and  last
              is  in  $HG_NODE_LAST.   The  URL  from which changes came is in
              $HG_URL.

       commit

              Run after a changeset has been created in the local  repository.
              The  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. The URL that  was  source  of  the  changes  is  in
              $HG_URL.

       outgoing

              Run  after sending changes from the local repository to another.
              The ID of first changeset sent is in $HG_NODE. The source of op-
              eration  is in $HG_SOURCE. Also see hg help config.hooks.preout-
              going.

       post-<command>

              Run after successful invocations of the associated command.  The
              contents  of the command line are passed as $HG_ARGS and the re-
              sult code in  $HG_RESULT.  Parsed  command  line  arguments  are
              passed  as $HG_PATS and $HG_OPTS. These contain string represen-
              tations 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.

       fail-<command>

              Run after a failed invocation of an associated command. The con-
              tents of the command line are passed as $HG_ARGS. Parsed command
              line  arguments  are passed as $HG_PATS and $HG_OPTS. These con-
              tain string representations of the python data internally passed
              to <command>. $HG_OPTS is a dictionary of options (with unspeci-
              fied options set to their defaults). $HG_PATS is a list of argu-
              ments.  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  argu-
              ments  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. A non-zero sta-
              tus will cause the push, pull or unbundle to fail. The 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. A 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.
              A 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. A non-zero status will cause failure. This lets  you
              prevent  pull  over HTTP or SSH. It can also prevent propagating
              commits (via local pull, push (outbound)  or  bundle  commands),
              but  not  completely, since you can just copy files instead. The
              source of operation is in $HG_SOURCE. If "serve", the  operation
              is  happening  on  behalf of a remote SSH or HTTP repository. If
              "push", "pull" or "bundle", the operation is happening on behalf
              of a repository on same system.

       prepushkey

              Run  before  a pushkey (like a bookmark) is added to the reposi-
              tory. A 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. A non-zero status will cause the tag to fail. The ID of
              the  changeset  to  tag  is  in  $HG_NODE. The name of tag is in
              $HG_TAG. The tag is local if $HG_LOCAL=1, or in  the  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 identi-
              fier 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. A 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.  Changes unbundled to
              the repository will add $HG_URL and $HG_SOURCE.  New  changesets
              will  add  $HG_NODE  (the  ID  of  the  first  added changeset),
              $HG_NODE_LAST (the ID of the last  added  changeset).   Bookmark
              and    phase    changes    will   set   $HG_BOOKMARK_MOVED   and
              $HG_PHASES_MOVED to 1 respectively.  The number of new  obsmark-
              ers, if any, will be in $HG_NEW_OBSMARKERS, etc.

       pretxnclose-bookmark

              Run  right  before  a bookmark change 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. A non-zero status will  cause  the
              transaction to be rolled back.  The name of the bookmark will be
              available in $HG_BOOKMARK, the new  bookmark  location  will  be
              available in $HG_NODE while the previous location will be avail-
              able in $HG_OLDNODE. In case of a bookmark creation  $HG_OLDNODE
              will  be  empty. In case of deletion $HG_NODE will be empty.  In
              addition, the reason for the  transaction  opening  will  be  in
              $HG_TXNNAME, and a unique identifier for the transaction will be
              in $HG_TXNID.

       pretxnclose-phase

              Run right before a  phase  change  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.  A non-zero status will cause the
              transaction to be rolled  back.  The  hook  is  called  multiple
              times,  once  for each revision affected by a phase change.  The
              affected node is available in $HG_NODE, the phase  in  $HG_PHASE
              while  the  previous $HG_OLDPHASE. In case of new node, $HG_OLD-
              PHASE will be empty.  In addition, the reason for  the  transac-
              tion opening will be in $HG_TXNNAME, and a unique identifier for
              the transaction will be in $HG_TXNID. The hook is also  run  for
              newly  added revisions. In this case the $HG_OLDPHASE entry will
              be empty.

       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  hg  help   con-
              fig.hooks.pretxnclose for details about available variables.

       txnclose-bookmark

              Run after any bookmark change has been committed. At this point,
              the transaction can no longer be rolled back. The hook will  run
              after  the  lock  is  released. See hg help config.hooks.pretxn-
              close-bookmark for details about available variables.

       txnclose-phase

              Run after any phase change has been committed.  At  this  point,
              the  transaction can no longer be rolled back. The hook will run
              after the lock is released.  See  hg  help  config.hooks.pretxn-

              Run   when   a   transaction   is  aborted.  See  hg  help  con-
              fig.hooks.pretxnclose for details about available variables.

       pretxnchangegroup

              Run after a changegroup has been added via push, pull or  unbun-
              dle,  but before the transaction has been committed. The change-
              group is visible to the hook program. This allows validation  of
              incoming changes before accepting them.  The ID of the first new
              changeset is in $HG_NODE and last is in $HG_NODE_LAST. Exit sta-
              tus  0  allows the transaction to commit. A non-zero status will
              cause the transaction to be rolled back, and the push,  pull  or
              unbundle will fail. The URL that was the source of changes is in
              $HG_URL.

       pretxncommit

              Run after a changeset has been created, but before the  transac-
              tion is committed. The changeset is visible to the hook program.
              This allows validation of the commit message and  changes.  Exit
              status  0  allows  the commit to proceed. A non-zero status will
              cause the transaction to be rolled  back.  The  ID  of  the  new
              changeset  is  in  $HG_NODE.  The  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. A non-zero status will prevent the up-
              date.  The changeset ID of first new parent is  in  $HG_PARENT1.
              If  updating  to  a  merge,  the  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 dictio-
              nary containing the keys and values.

       pushkey

              Run after a pushkey (like a bookmark) is added  to  the  reposi-
              tory.  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. The ID of the tagged changeset is in
              $HG_NODE.  The name of tag is in $HG_TAG. The tag  is  local  if
              $HG_LOCAL=1, or in the repository if $HG_LOCAL=0.

       update

              Run  after  updating  the working directory. The changeset ID of
              first new parent is in $HG_PARENT1. If updating to a merge,  the
              ID  of  second  new parent is in $HG_PARENT2. If the update suc-
              ceeded, $HG_ERROR=0. If the update  failed  (e.g.  because  con-
              flicts were 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 transac-
              tions.  Also, hooks like "commit" will be called in all contexts
              that  generate  a commit (e.g. tag) and not just the commit com-
              mand.

       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
       (Deprecated. Use [hostsecurity]'s fingerprints options instead.)

       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.
       Multiple values can be specified (separated by spaces or commas).  This
       can  be used to define both old and new fingerprints while a host tran-
       sitions to a new certificate.

       The CA chain and web.cacerts is not used for  servers  with  a  finger-
       print.

       For example:

       [hostfingerprints]
       hg.intevation.de = fc:e2:8d:d9:51:cd:cb:c1:4d:18:6b:b7:44:8d:49:72:57:e6:cd:33
       hg.intevation.org = fc:e2:8d:d9:51:cd:cb:c1:4d:18:6b:b7:44:8d:49:72:57:e6:cd:33

   hostsecurity
       Used to specify global and per-host security settings for connecting to
       other machines.

       The following options control default behavior for all hosts.

       ciphers

              Defines the cryptographic ciphers to use for connections.

              Value must be a valid OpenSSL Cipher List Format  as  documented
              at
              https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/apps/ciphers.html#CIPHER-LIST-FORMAT
              .

              This  setting  is  for advanced users only. Setting to incorrect
              values can significantly lower connection security  or  decrease
              performance.  You have been warned.

              This option requires Python 2.7.

       minimumprotocol

              Defines the minimum channel encryption protocol to use.

              By  default, the highest version of TLS supported by both client
              and server is used.

              Allowed values are: tls1.0, tls1.1, tls1.2.

              When running on an old Python version, only  tls1.0  is  allowed
              since old versions of Python only support up to TLS 1.0.

              When running a Python that supports modern TLS versions, the de-
              fault is tls1.1. tls1.0 can still be used to allow TLS 1.0. How-
              ever, this weakens security and should only be used as a feature
              of last resort if a server does not support TLS 1.1+.

       Options in the [hostsecurity] section can have the  form  hostname:set-
       ting. This allows multiple settings to be defined on a per-host basis.

       The following per-host settings can be defined.

       ciphers

              This  behaves like ciphers as described above except it only ap-
              plies to the host on which it is defined.

       fingerprints

              A list of hashes of the  DER  encoded  peer/remote  certificate.
              Values     have    the    form    algorithm:fingerprint.    e.g.
              sha256:c3ab8ff13720e8ad9047dd39466b3c8974e592c2fa383d4a3960714caef0c4f2.
              In addition, colons (:) can appear in the fingerprint part.

              The  following  algorithms/prefixes are supported: sha1, sha256,
              sha512.

              Use of sha256 or sha512 is preferred.

              If a fingerprint is specified, the CA chain is not validated for
              this  host  and Mercurial will require the remote certificate to
              match one of the  fingerprints  specified.  This  means  if  the
              server updates its certificate, Mercurial will abort until a new
              fingerprint is defined.  This can provide stronger security than
              traditional CA-based validation at the expense of convenience.

              This option takes precedence over verifycertsfile.

       minimumprotocol

              This  behaves  like minimumprotocol as described above except it
              only applies to the host on which it is defined.

       verifycertsfile

              Path to file a containing a list  of  PEM  encoded  certificates
              used to verify the server certificate. Environment variables and
              ~user constructs are expanded in the filename.

              The server certificate or the certificate's certificate  author-
              ity  (CA) must match a certificate from this file or certificate
              verification will fail and connections to the server will be re-
              fused.

              If  defined,  only  certificates  provided  by this file will be
              used: web.cacerts and any system/default certificates  will  not
              be used.

              This option has no effect if the per-host fingerprints option is
              set.

              The format of the file is as follows:

              -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
              ... (certificate in base64 PEM encoding) ...
              -----END CERTIFICATE-----
              -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
              ... (certificate in base64 PEM encoding) ...
              -----END CERTIFICATE-----

       For example:

       [hostsecurity]
       hg.example.com:fingerprints = sha256:c3ab8ff13720e8ad9047dd39466b3c8974e592c2fa383d4a3960714caef0c4f2
       hg2.example.com:fingerprints = sha1:914f1aff87249c09b6859b88b1906d30756491ca, sha1:fc:e2:8d:d9:51:cd:cb:c1:4d:18:6b:b7:44:8d:49:72:57:e6:cd:33
       hg3.example.com:fingerprints = sha256:9a:b0:dc:e2:75:ad:8a:b7:84:58:e5:1f:07:32:f1:87:e6:bd:24:22:af:b7:ce:8e:9c:b4:10:cf:b9:f4:0e:d2
       foo.example.com:verifycertsfile = /etc/ssl/trusted-ca-certs.pem

       To change the default minimum protocol version to TLS 1.2 but to  allow
       TLS 1.1 when connecting to hg.example.com:

       [hostsecurity]
       minimumprotocol = tls1.2
       hg.example.com:minimumprotocol = tls1.1

   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 en-
              tries in http_proxy.no. (default: False)

   http
       Used to configure access to Mercurial repositories via HTTP.

       timeout

              If set, blocking operations will timeout after  that  many  sec-
              onds.  (default: None)

   merge
       This section specifies behavior during merges and updates.

       checkignored

              Controls behavior when an ignored file on disk has the same name
              as a tracked file in the changeset being merged or  updated  to,
              and  has different contents. Options are abort, warn and ignore.
              With abort, abort on such files. With warn, warn on  such  files
              and  back  them  up as .orig. With ignore, don't print a warning
              and back them up as .orig. (default: abort)

       checkunknown

              Controls behavior when an unknown file that  isn't  ignored  has
              the same name as a tracked file in the changeset being merged or
              updated to, and has different contents. Similar to  merge.check-
              ignored, except for files that are not ignored. (default: abort)

       on-failure

              When  set  to continue (the default), the merge process attempts
              to merge all unresolved files using the merge chosen  tool,  re-
              gardless  of  whether  previous  file  merge attempts during the
              process succeeded or not.  Setting this to  prompt  will  prompt
              after any merge failure continue or halt the merge process. Set-
              ting this to halt will automatically halt the merge  process  on
              any  merge  tool  failure. The merge process can be restarted by
              using the resolve command. When a merge is halted,  the  reposi-
              tory is left in a normal unresolved merge state.  (default: con-
              tinue)

       strict-capability-check

              Whether  capabilities  of  internal  merge  tools  are   checked
              strictly  or  not, while examining rules to decide merge tool to
              be used.  (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
       meld.priority = 0

       # Disable a preconfigured tool
       vimdiff.disabled = yes

       # 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)

       executable

              Either just the name of the executable or its pathname.

              On Windows, the path can use environment variables  with  ${Pro-
              gramFiles} syntax.

              (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 ac-
              tion is being performed. During an update or merge, $local  rep-
              resents  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.

              Some operations define custom labels to assist with  identifying
              the revisions, accessible via $labellocal, $labelother, and $la-
              belbase. If custom labels are not available, these will  be  lo-
              cal,  other,  and  base,  respectively.   (default: $local $base
              $other)

       premerge

              Attempt to run internal non-interactive 3-way merge tool  before
              launching   external  tool.   Options  are  true,  false,  keep,
              keep-merge3, or keep-mergediff (experimental). 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). The keep-mergediff option is similar  but  uses  a
              different   marker  style  (see  internal  :merge3  in  hg  help
              merge-tools). (default: True)

       binary

              This tool can merge binary files. (default: False,  unless  tool
              was selected by file pattern match)

       symlink

              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.   (de-
              fault: False)

       gui

              This  tool  requires  a  graphical  interface  to run. (default:
              False)

       mergemarkers

              Controls whether the labels passed via $labellocal, $labelother,
              and  $labelbase are detailed (respecting mergemarkertemplate) or
              basic. If premerge is keep or keep-merge3, the conflict  markers
              generated during premerge will be detailed if either this option
              or the corresponding option in the  [ui]  section  is  detailed.
              (default: basic)

       mergemarkertemplate

              This  setting can be used to override mergemarker from the [com-
              mand-templates] section on a per-tool basis; this applies to the
              $label-prefixed  variables  and to the conflict markers that are
              generated if premerge is keep` or ``keep-merge3. See the  corre-
              sponding variable in [ui] for more information.

       regkey

              Windows  registry  key  which describes install location of this
              tool. Mercurial will search for this key first  under  HKEY_CUR-
              RENT_USER and then under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.  (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)

       regname

              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)

   pager
       Setting  used  to control when to paginate and with what external tool.
       See hg help pager for details.

       pager

              Define the external tool used as pager.

              If no pager is set,  Mercurial  uses  the  environment  variable
              $PAGER.   If  neither  pager.pager, nor $PAGER is set, a default
              pager will be used, typically less on Unix and more on  Windows.
              Example:

              [pager]
              pager = less -FRX

       ignore

              List of commands to disable the pager for. Example:

              [pager]
              ignore = version, help, update

   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 set-
              ting on a per-file basis. If target file does not exist  or  has
              no  end  of  line,  patch line endings are preserved.  (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)

   paths
       Assigns symbolic names and behavior to repositories.

       Options are symbolic names defining the URL or directory  that  is  the
       location of the repository. Example:

       [paths]
       my_server = https://example.com/my_repo
       local_path = /home/me/repo

       These  symbolic  names  can be used from the command line. To pull from
       my_server: hg pull my_server. To push to local_path: hg push local_path
       . You can check hg help urls for details about valid URLs.

       Options containing colons (:) denote sub-options that can influence be-
       havior for that specific path. Example:

       [paths]
       my_server = https://example.com/my_path
       my_server:pushurl = ssh://example.com/my_path

       Paths using the path://otherpath scheme will  inherit  the  sub-options
       value from the path they point to.

       The following sub-options can be defined:

       multi-urls

              A  boolean  option.  When enabled the value of the [paths] entry
              will be parsed as a list and the alias will resolve to  multiple
              destination.  If  some of the list entry use the path:// syntax,
              the suboption will be inherited individually.

       pushurl

              The URL to use for push operations. If not defined, the location
              defined by the path's main entry is used.

       pushrev

              A revset defining which revisions to push by default.

              When  hg  push is executed without a -r argument, the revset de-
              fined by this sub-option is evaluated to determine what to push.

              For example, a value of . will push the working directory's  re-
              vision by default.

              Revsets specifying bookmarks will not result in the bookmark be-
              ing pushed.

       bookmarks.mode

              How bookmark will be dealt during the exchange. It  support  the
              following value

              • default:  the default behavior, local and remote bookmarks are
                "merged" on push/pull.

              • mirror: when pulling, replace local bookmarks by remote  book-
                marks.  This is useful to replicate a repository, or as an op-
                timization.

              • ignore: ignore bookmarks  during  exchange.   (This  currently
                only affect pulling)

       The following special named paths exist:

       default

              The  URL  or directory to use when no source or remote is speci-
              fied.

              hg clone will automatically define this path to the location the
              repository was cloned from.

       default-push

              (deprecated)  The URL or directory for the default hg push loca-
              tion.  default:pushurl should be used instead.

   phases
       Specifies default handling of phases. See hg help phases for  more  in-
       formation 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)

       new-commit

              Phase of newly-created commits.  (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 reposi-
              tory. 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)

   profiling
       Specifies  profiling  type,  format, and file output. Two profilers are
       supported: an instrumenting profiler (named ls), and  a  sampling  pro-
       filer (named stat).

       In  this  section description, 'profiling data' stands for the raw data
       collected during profiling, while 'profiling report' stands for a  sta-
       tistical text report generated from the profiling data.

       enabled

              Enable the profiler.  (default: false)

              This is equivalent to passing --profile on the command line.

       type

              The type of profiler to use.  (default: stat)

              ls

                     Use  Python's  built-in instrumenting profiler. This pro-
                     filer works on all platforms, but each line number it re-
                     ports  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  statistical  profiler, statprof. This profiler 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)

              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.

       statformat

              Profiling format for the stat profiler.  (default: hotpath)

              hotpath

                     Show a tree-based display containing the hot path of exe-
                     cution (where most time was spent).

              bymethod

                     Show  a  table  of methods ordered by how frequently they
                     are active.

              byline

                     Show a table of lines in files ordered by how  frequently
                     they are active.

              json

                     Render profiling data as JSON.

       freq

              Sampling  frequency.   Specific  to  the stat sampling profiler.
              (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)

       sort

              Sort field.  Specific to the ls instrumenting profiler.  One  of
              callcount,  reccallcount,  totaltime  and inlinetime.  (default:
              inlinetime)

       time-track

              Control if the stat profiler track cpu or real time.   (default:
              cpu on Windows, otherwise real)

       limit

              Number  of  lines to show. Specific to the ls instrumenting pro-
              filer.  (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.   (de-
              fault: 0)

       showmin

              Minimum fraction of samples an entry must have for it to be dis-
              played.  Can be specified as a float between 0.0 and 1.0 or  can
              have a % afterwards to allow values up to 100. e.g. 5%.

              Only used by the stat profiler.

              For the hotpath format, default is 0.05.  For the chrome format,
              default is 0.005.

              The option is unused on other formats.

       showmax

              Maximum fraction of samples an entry can have before it  is  ig-
              nored in display. Values format is the same as showmin.

              Only used by the stat profiler.

              For the chrome format, default is 0.999.

              The option is unused on other formats.

       showtime

              Show  time  taken as absolute durations, in addition to percent-
              ages.  Only used by the hotpath format.  (default: true)

   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.

       debug

              Whether to print debug info when updating the progress bar. (de-
              fault: False)

       delay

              Number  of seconds (float) before showing the progress bar. (de-
              fault: 3)

       changedelay

              Minimum delay before showing a new topic. When set to less  than
              3 * refresh, that value will be used instead. (default: 1)

       estimateinterval

              Maximum  sampling  interval  in  seconds for speed and estimated
              time calculation. (default: 60)

       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  charac-
              ters  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: True)

       disable

              If true, don't show a progress bar.

       assume-tty

              If true, ALWAYS show a progress bar, unless disable is given.

   rebase
       evolution.allowdivergence

              Default to False, when True allow creating divergence when  per-
              forming rebase of obsolete changesets.

   revsetalias
       Alias definitions for revsets. See hg help revsets for details.

   rewrite
       backup-bundle

              Whether  to save stripped changesets to a bundle file. (default:
              True)

       update-timestamp

              If true, updates the date and time of the changeset to  current.
              It is only applicable for hg amend, hg commit --amend and hg un-
              commit in the current version.

       empty-successor

          Control what happens with empty successors that are  the  result  of
          rewrite operations. If set to skip, the successor is not created. If
          set to keep, the empty successor is created and kept.

          Currently, only the rebase and absorb commands consider this config-
          uration.  (EXPERIMENTAL)

   rhg
       The  pure Rust fast-path for Mercurial. See rust/README.rst in the Mer-
       curial repository.

       fallback-executable

              Path to the executable to run in a sub-process when falling back
              to another implementation of Mercurial.

       fallback-immediately

              Fall back to fallback-executable as soon as possible, regardless
              of the rhg.on-unsupported configuration. Useful  for  debugging,
              for example to bypass rhg if the deault hg points to rhg.

              Note that because this requires loading the configuration, it is
              possible that rhg error out before being able to fall back.

       ignored-extensions

              Controls which extensions should be ignored by rhg. By  default,
              rhg triggers the rhg.on-unsupported behavior any unsupported ex-
              tensions.  Users can disable that behavior when they know that a
              given extension does not need support from rhg.

              Expects  a  list  of  extension names, or * to ignore all exten-
              sions.

              Note: *:<suboption> is also a valid extension name for this con-
              figuration  option.  As of this writing, the only valid "global"
              suboption is required.

       on-unsupported

              Controls the behavior of rhg  when  detecting  unsupported  fea-
              tures.

              Possible values are abort (default), abort-silent and fallback.

              abort

                     Print  an  error  message  describing what feature is not
                     supported, and exit with code 252

              abort-silent

                     Silently exit with code 252

              fallback

                     Try running the fallback executable with the same parame-
                     ters  (and  trace the fallback reason, use RUST_LOG=trace
                     to see).

   share
       safe-mismatch.source-safe

              Controls what happens when the shared repository  does  not  use
              the share-safe mechanism but its source repository does.

              Possible  values  are  abort (default), allow, upgrade-abort and
              upgrade-allow.

              abort

                     Disallows running any command and aborts

              allow

                     Respects the feature presence in the share source

              upgrade-abort

                     Tries to upgrade the  share  to  use  share-safe;  if  it
                     fails, aborts

              upgrade-allow

                     Tries  to upgrade the share; if it fails, continue by re-
                     specting the share source setting

              Check hg help config.format.use-share-safe for details about the
              share-safe feature.

       safe-mismatch.source-safe:verbose-upgrade

              Display a message when upgrading, (default: True)

       safe-mismatch.source-safe.warn

              Shows  a warning on operations if the shared repository does not
              use share-safe, but the source repository does.  (default: True)

       safe-mismatch.source-not-safe

              Controls what  happens  when  the  shared  repository  uses  the
              share-safe mechanism but its source does not.

              Possible  values are abort (default), allow, downgrade-abort and
              downgrade-allow.

              abort

                     Disallows running any command and aborts

              allow

                     Respects the feature presence in the share source

              downgrade-abort

                     Tries to downgrade the share to not use share-safe; if it
                     fails, aborts

              downgrade-allow

                     Tries to downgrade the share to not use share-safe; if it
                     fails, continue by respecting the shared source setting

              Check hg help config.format.use-share-safe for details about the
              share-safe feature.

       safe-mismatch.source-not-safe:verbose-upgrade

              Display a message when upgrading, (default: True)

       safe-mismatch.source-not-safe.warn

              Shows  a  warning  on  operations  if the shared repository uses
              share-safe, but the source repository does not.  (default: True)

   storage
       Control the strategy Mercurial uses internally to  store  history.  Op-
       tions in this category impact performance and repository size.

       revlog.issue6528.fix-incoming

              Version  5.8 of Mercurial had a bug leading to altering the par-
              ent of file revision with copy information (or any  other  meta-
              data)  on  exchange. This leads to the copy metadata to be over-
              looked by various internal logic. The issue was fixed in  Mercu-
              rial                         5.8.1.                         (See
              https://bz.mercurial-scm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6528 for details)

              As a result Mercurial is now checking and fixing  incoming  file
              revisions  to  make  sure  there parents are in the right order.
              This behavior can be disabled by setting this option to no. This
              apply to revisions added through push, pull, clone and unbundle.

              To  fix affected revisions that already exist within the reposi-
              tory, one can use hg debug-repair-issue-6528.

       revlog.optimize-delta-parent-choice

              When storing a merge revision, both parents will be equally con-
              sidered  as  a possible delta base. This results in better delta
              selection and improved revlog compression. This  option  is  en-
              abled by default.

              Turning  this option off can result in large increase of reposi-
              tory size for repository with many merges.

       revlog.persistent-nodemap.mmap

              Whether to use the Operating  System  "memory  mapping"  feature
              (when  possible) to access the persistent nodemap data. This im-
              prove performance and reduce memory pressure.

              Default to True.

              For details on the "persistent-nodemap" feature,  see:  hg  help
              config.format.use-persistent-nodemap.

       revlog.persistent-nodemap.slow-path

              Control  the  behavior of Merucrial when using a repository with
              "persistent" nodemap with an installation of Mercurial without a
              fast implementation for the feature:

              allow:  Silently  use  the  slower  implementation to access the
              repository.  warn: Warn, but use the  slower  implementation  to
              access  the repository.  abort: Prevent access to such reposito-
              ries. (This is the default)

              For details on the "persistent-nodemap" feature,  see:  hg  help
              config.format.use-persistent-nodemap.

       revlog.reuse-external-delta-parent

              Control  the  order  in  which delta parents are considered when
              adding new revisions from an external source.  (typically: apply
              bundle from hg pull or hg push).

              New  revisions are usually provided as a delta against other re-
              visions. By default, Mercurial will  try  to  reuse  this  delta
              first,  therefore  using  the same "delta parent" as the source.
              Directly using delta's from the source  reduces  CPU  usage  and
              usually  speeds  up operation. However, in some case, the source
              might have sub-optimal delta bases and forcing  their  reevalua-
              tion  is  useful.  For  example, pushes from an old client could
              have sub-optimal delta's parent that the server  want  to  opti-
              mize.  (lack  of  general  delta,  bad  parents, choice, lack of
              sparse-revlog, etc).

              This option is enabled by default. Turning it  off  will  ensure
              bad  delta  parent choices from older client do not propagate to
              this repository, at the cost of a small increase in CPU consump-
              tion.

              Note:  this option only control the order in which delta parents
              are considered.  Even when disabled, the existing delta from the
              source will be reused if the same delta parent is selected.

       revlog.reuse-external-delta

              Control  the  reuse  of delta from external source.  (typically:
              apply bundle from hg pull or hg push).

              New revisions are usually provided as a  delta  against  another
              revision.  By  default,  Mercurial  will  not recompute the same
              delta again, trusting externally  provided  deltas.  There  have
              been  rare cases of small adjustment to the diffing algorithm in
              the past. So in some rare case, recomputing  delta  provided  by
              ancient  clients can provides better results. Disabling this op-
              tion means going through a full delta recomputation for all  in-
              coming  revisions.  It  means  a large increase in CPU usage and
              will slow operations down.

              This option is enabled by default. When disabled, it  also  dis-
              ables the related storage.revlog.reuse-external-delta-parent op-
              tion.

       revlog.zlib.level

              Zlib compression level used when storing data into  the  reposi-
              tory.  Accepted  Value  range  from  1 (lowest compression) to 9
              (highest compression). Zlib default value is 6.

       revlog.zstd.level

              zstd compression level used when storing data into  the  reposi-
              tory.  Accepted  Value  range  from 1 (lowest compression) to 22
              (highest compression).  (default 3)

   server
       Controls generic server settings.

       bookmarks-pushkey-compat

              Trigger pushkey hook when being pushed  bookmark  updates.  This
              config exist for compatibility purpose (default to True)

              If  you  use  pushkey  and pre-pushkey hooks to control bookmark
              movement we recommend you migrate them to txnclose-bookmark  and
              pretxnclose-bookmark.

       compressionengines

              List  of  compression engines and their relative priority to ad-
              vertise to clients.

              The order of compression engines determines their priority,  the
              first  having  the  highest priority. If a compression engine is
              not listed here, it won't be advertised to clients.

              If not set (the default), built-in defaults are used. Run hg de-
              buginstall to  list  available compression engines and their de-
              fault wire protocol priority.

              Older Mercurial clients only support zlib compression  and  this
              setting has no effect for legacy clients.

       uncompressed

              Whether  to allow clients to clone a repository using the uncom-
              pressed 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  temporar-
              ily hold the write lock while determining what data to transfer.
              (default: True)

       uncompressedallowsecret

              Whether to allow stream clones when the repository contains  se-
              cret changesets. (default: False)

       preferuncompressed

              When  set,  clients  will  try to use the uncompressed streaming
              protocol. (default: False)

       disablefullbundle

              When set, servers will refuse attempts to do pull-based  clones.
              If  this  option is set, preferuncompressed and/or clone bundles
              are highly recommended. Partial clones will  still  be  allowed.
              (default: False)

       streamunbundle

              When set, servers will apply data sent from the client directly,
              otherwise it will be written to a temporary file first. This op-
              tion effectively prevents concurrent pushes.

       pullbundle

              When set, the server will check pullbundles.manifest for bundles
              covering the requested heads and common nodes. The first  match-
              ing entry will be streamed to the client.

              For  HTTP  transport, the stream will still use zlib compression
              for older clients.

       concurrent-push-mode

              Level of allowed race condition between two pushing clients.

              • 'strict': push is abort if another client touched the  reposi-
                tory while the push was preparing.

              • 'check-related':  push is only aborted if it affects head that
                got also affected while the push was preparing. (default since
                5.4)

              'check-related'  only  takes effect for compatible clients (ver-
              sion 4.3 and later). Older clients will use 'strict'.

       validate

              Whether to validate the completeness  of  pushed  changesets  by
              checking  that all new file revisions specified in manifests are
              present. (default: False)

       maxhttpheaderlen

              Instruct HTTP clients not to send request  headers  longer  than
              this many bytes. (default: 1024)

       bundle1

              Whether  to allow clients to push and pull using the legacy bun-
              dle1 exchange format. (default: True)

       bundle1gd

              Like bundle1 but only used if the repository is using the gener-
              aldelta storage format. (default: True)

       bundle1.push

              Whether  to  allow  clients to push using the legacy bundle1 ex-
              change format. (default: True)

       bundle1gd.push

              Like bundle1.push but only used if the repository is  using  the
              generaldelta storage format. (default: True)

       bundle1.pull

              Whether  to  allow  clients to pull using the legacy bundle1 ex-
              change format. (default: True)

       bundle1gd.pull

              Like bundle1.pull but only used if the repository is  using  the
              generaldelta storage format. (default: True)

              Large  repositories using the generaldelta storage format should
              consider setting this  option  because  converting  generaldelta
              repositories to the exchange format required by the bundle1 data
              format can consume a lot of CPU.

       bundle2.stream

              Whether to allow clients to pull  using  the  bundle2  streaming
              protocol.  (default: True)

       zliblevel

              Integer  between  -1  and  9  that controls the zlib compression
              level for wire protocol commands that send zlib compressed  out-
              put (notably the commands that send repository history data).

              The  default (-1) uses the default zlib compression level, which
              is likely equivalent to 6. 0 means no compression. 9 means maxi-
              mum compression.

              Setting  this  option allows server operators to make trade-offs
              between bandwidth and CPU used. Lowering the compression  lowers
              CPU utilization but sends more bytes to clients.

              This option only impacts the HTTP server.

       zstdlevel

              Integer  between  1  and  22  that controls the zstd compression
              level for wire protocol commands. 1 is  the  minimal  amount  of
              compression and 22 is the highest amount of compression.

              The  default  (3) should be significantly faster than zlib while
              likely delivering better compression ratios.

              This option only impacts the HTTP server.

              See also server.zliblevel.

       view

              Repository filter used when exchanging revisions with the peer.

              The default view (served) excludes secret and hidden changesets.
              Another  useful  value  is immutable (no draft, secret or hidden
              changesets). (EXPERIMENTAL)

   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; 25 otherwise)

       tls

              Optional.  Method  to enable TLS when connecting to mail server:
              starttls, smtps or none. (default: none)

       username

              Optional. User name for authenticating  with  the  SMTP  server.
              (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)

       local_hostname

              Optional.  The  hostname that the sender can use to identify it-
              self 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 re-
       write 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. If pattern  doesn't
       match  the  full  path,  an attempt is made to apply it on the relative
       path alone. The rules are applied in definition order.

   subrepos
       This section contains options that control the  behavior  of  the  sub-
       repositories feature. See also hg help subrepos.

       Security  note:  auditing  in  Mercurial is known to be insufficient to
       prevent clone-time code execution with carefully constructed Git subre-
       pos.  It is unknown if a similar detect is present in Subversion subre-
       pos. Both Git and Subversion subrepos are disabled by  default  out  of
       security concerns. These subrepo types can be enabled using the respec-
       tive options below.

       allowed

              Whether subrepositories are allowed in the working directory.

              When false, commands involving subrepositories (like hg  update)
              will fail for all subrepository types.  (default: true)

       hg:allowed

              Whether Mercurial subrepositories are allowed in the working di-
              rectory. This option only has an effect if  subrepos.allowed  is
              true.  (default: true)

       git:allowed

              Whether  Git  subrepositories  are allowed in the working direc-
              tory.  This option only has an  effect  if  subrepos.allowed  is
              true.

              See  the security note above before enabling Git subrepos.  (de-
              fault: false)

       svn:allowed

              Whether Subversion subrepositories are allowed  in  the  working
              directory. This option only has an effect if subrepos.allowed is
              true.

              See the security note above before enabling Subversion subrepos.
              (default: false)

   templatealias
       Alias definitions for templates. See hg help templates for details.

   templates
       Use  the  [templates]  section to define template strings.  See hg help
       templates for details.

   trusted
       Mercurial will not use the settings in the .hg/hgrc file from a reposi-
       tory  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  Mercu-
       rial.

       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.  (de-
              fault: 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: False)

       clonebundles

              Whether the "clone bundles" feature is enabled.

              When  enabled,  hg  clone may download and apply a server-adver-
              tised bundle file from a URL instead of  using  the  normal  ex-
              change mechanism.

              This can likely result in faster and more reliable clones.

              (default: True)

       clonebundlefallback

              Whether  failure  to  apply  an advertised "clone bundle" from a
              server should result in fallback to a regular clone.

              This is disabled by default because servers  advertising  "clone
              bundles"  often  do so to reduce server load. If advertised bun-
              dles start mass failing and clients automatically fall back to a
              regular clone, this would add significant and unexpected load to
              the server since the server is expecting clone operations to  be
              offloaded  to  pre-generated  bundles. Failing fast (the default
              behavior) ensures clients don't overwhelm the server when "clone
              bundle" application fails.

              (default: False)

       clonebundleprefers

              Defines preferences for which "clone bundles" to use.

              Servers  advertising  "clone  bundles"  may  advertise  multiple
              available bundles. Each bundle may  have  different  attributes,
              such  as  the bundle type and compression format. This option is
              used to prefer a particular bundle over another.

              The following keys are defined by Mercurial:

              BUNDLESPEC
                     A bundle type specifier. These are strings passed  to  hg
                     bundle -t.  e.g. gzip-v2 or bzip2-v1.

              COMPRESSION
                     The  compression  format  of  the  bundle.  e.g. gzip and
                     bzip2.

              Server operators may define custom keys.

              Example values: COMPRESSION=bzip2, BUNDLESPEC=gzip-v2,  COMPRES-
              SION=gzip.

              By default, the first bundle advertised by the server is used.

       color

              When  to  colorize  output. Possible value are Boolean ("yes" or
              "no"), or "debug", or "always". (default: "yes"). "yes" will use
              color whenever it seems possible. See hg help color for details.

       commitsubrepos

              Whether  to  commit modified subrepositories when committing the
              parent repository. If False and one subrepository has  uncommit-
              ted changes, abort the commit.  (default: False)

       debug

              Print debugging information. (default: False)

       editor

              The editor to use during a commit. (default: $EDITOR or vi)

       fallbackencoding

              Encoding to try if it's not possible to decode the changelog us-
              ing UTF-8. (default: ISO-8859-1)

       graphnodetemplate

              (DEPRECATED) Use command-templates.graphnode instead.

       ignore

              A file to read per-user ignore patterns from. This  file  should
              be in the same format as a repository-wide .hgignore file. File-
              names 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 =  ~/.hgig-
              nore2.  For  details  of  the  ignore file format, see the hgig-
              nore(5) man page.

       interactive

              Allow to prompt the user. (default: True)

       interface

              Select the default interface for interactive features  (default:
              text).  Possible values are 'text' and 'curses'.

       interface.chunkselector

              Select  the  interface for change recording (e.g. hg commit -i).
              Possible values are 'text' and 'curses'.  This config  overrides
              the interface specified by ui.interface.

       large-file-limit

              Largest  file  size  that gives no memory use warning.  Possible
              values are integers or 0 to disable the  check.   Value  is  ex-
              pressed in bytes by default, one can use standard units for con-
              venience (e.g. 10MB, 0.1GB, etc) (default: 10MB)

       logtemplate

              (DEPRECATED) Use command-templates.log instead.

       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 command-templates.mergemarker setting to style the la-
              bels.  The basic style just uses  'local'  and  'other'  as  the
              marker label.  One of basic or detailed.  (default: basic)

       mergemarkertemplate

              (DEPRECATED) Use command-templates.mergemarker instead.

       message-output

              Where to write status and error messages. (default: stdio)

              channel

                     Use   separate   channel  for  structured  output.  (Com-
                     mand-server only)

              stderr

                     Everything to stderr.

              stdio

                     Status to stdout, and error to stderr.

       origbackuppath

              The path to a directory used to store generated .orig files.  If
              the path is not a directory, one will be created.  If set, files
              stored in this directory have the same name as the original file
              and do not have a .orig suffix.

       paginate

              Control the pagination of command output (default: True). See hg
              help pager for details.

       patch

              An optional external tool that hg  import  and  some  extensions
              will  use for applying patches. By default Mercurial uses an in-
              ternal 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 di-
              rectory,  a  file  name  to patch, and a patch file to take from
              stdin.

              It is possible to specify a patch tool together with extra argu-
              ments.  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: warn)

              warn

                     Print  a  warning  message  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).

              ignore

                     Don't print a warning.

              abort

                     The command is aborted.

              true

                     Alias for warn.

              false

                     Alias for ignore.

              On Windows, this configuration option is ignored and the command
              aborted.

       pre-merge-tool-output-template

              (DEPRECATED) Use command-template.pre-merge-tool-output instead.

       quiet

              Reduce the amount of output printed.  (default: False)

       relative-paths

              Prefer relative paths in the UI.

       remotecmd

              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.  (default: True)

       slash

              (Deprecated. Use slashpath template filter instead.)

              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: False)

       statuscopies

              Display copies in the status command.

       ssh

              Command to use for SSH connections. (default: ssh)

       ssherrorhint

              A  hint shown to the user in the case of SSH error (e.g.  Please
              see http://company/internalwiki/ssh.html)

       strict

              Require exact command names, instead of allowing unambiguous ab-
              breviations. (default: False)

       style

              Name of style to use for command output.

       supportcontact

              A  URL where users should report a Mercurial traceback. Use this
              if you are a large organisation with its own  Mercurial  deploy-
              ment  process  and crash reports should be addressed to your in-
              ternal support.

       textwidth

              Maximum width of help text. A longer line generated by  hg  help
              or  hg subcommand --help will be broken after white space to get
              this width or the terminal  width,  whichever  comes  first.   A
              non-positive value will disable this and the terminal width will
              be used. (default: 78)

       timeout

              The timeout used when a lock is held (in  seconds),  a  negative
              value means no timeout. (default: 600)

       timeout.warn

              Time (in seconds) before a warning is printed about held lock. A
              negative value means no warning. (default: 0)

       traceback

              Mercurial always prints a traceback when  an  unknown  exception
              occurs.  Setting this to True will make Mercurial print a trace-
              back on all exceptions, even those recognized by Mercurial (such
              as IOError or MemoryError). (default: False)

       tweakdefaults

          By  default Mercurial's behavior changes very little from release to
          release, but over time the recommended config settings shift. Enable
          this  config to opt in to get automatic tweaks to Mercurial's behav-
          ior over time. This config setting will have no effect if HGPLAIN is
          set or HGPLAINEXCEPT is set and does not include tweakdefaults. (de-
          fault: False)

          It currently means:

          [ui]
          # The rollback command is dangerous. As a rule, don't use it.
          rollback = False
          # Make `hg status` report copy information
          statuscopies = yes
          # Prefer curses UIs when available. Revert to plain-text with `text`.
          interface = curses
          # Make compatible commands emit cwd-relative paths by default.
          relative-paths = yes

          [commands]
          # Grep working directory by default.
          grep.all-files = True
          # Refuse to perform an `hg update` that would cause a file content merge
          update.check = noconflict
          # Show conflicts information in `hg status`
          status.verbose = True
          # Make `hg resolve` with no action (like `-m`) fail instead of re-merging.
          resolve.explicit-re-merge = True

          [diff]
          git = 1
          showfunc = 1
          word-diff = 1

       username

              The committer of a  changeset  created  when  running  "commit".
              Typically  a  person's  name and email address, e.g. Fred Widget
              <fred@example.com>. 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. (default: False)

   command-templates
       Templates used for customizing the output of commands.

       graphnode

              The template used to print changeset nodes in an ASCII  revision
              graph.  (default: {graphnode})

       log

              Template string for commands that print changesets.

       mergemarker

              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 at-
              tention to encodings of managed files.  At  template  expansion,
              non-ASCII  characters use the encoding specified by the --encod-
              ing 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  prob-
              lems may occur.

              Can be overridden per-merge-tool, see the [merge-tools] section.

       oneline-summary

              A  template  used  by hg rebase and other commands for showing a
              one-line summary of a commit. If the template configured here is
              longer than one line, then only the first line is used.

              The  template  can  be overridden per command by defining a tem-
              plate in oneline-summary.<command>, where <command> can be  e.g.
              "rebase".

       pre-merge-tool-output

              A  template  that  is printed before executing an external merge
              tool. This can be used to  print  out  additional  context  that
              might  be useful to have during the conflict resolution, such as
              the  description  of  the  various  commits  involved  or  book-
              marks/tags.

              Additional  information  is available in the local`, ``base, and
              other  dicts.  For  example:  {local.label},   {base.name},   or
              {other.islink}.

   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 au-
       thorization (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: stdout)

       address

              Interface address to bind to. (default: all)

       allow-archive

              List  of  archive format (bz2, gz, zip) allowed for downloading.
              (default: empty)

       allowbz2

              (DEPRECATED) Whether to allow .tar.bz2 downloading of repository
              revisions.  (default: False)

       allowgz

              (DEPRECATED)  Whether to allow .tar.gz downloading of repository
              revisions.  (default: False)

       allow-pull

              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  al-
              low-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 ac-
              cess  is  denied  for the user. If the list is empty or not set,
              then access is permitted to all users by  default.  Setting  al-
              low_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 re-
              visions. This feature creates temporary files.  (default: False)

       archivesubrepos

              Whether to recurse into subrepositories  when  archiving.   (de-
              fault: 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 au-
              thority 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.

              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-cer-
              tificates.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. (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  direc-
              tory  entries  that lead to the locations of these repositories.
              In effect, this setting collapses each collection  of  reposito-
              ries  found  within  a subdirectory into a single entry for that
              subdirectory. (default: False)

       comparisoncontext

              Number of lines of context to show in side-by-side file compari-
              son.  If negative or the value full, whole files are shown. (de-
              fault: 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.
              (default: ui.username or $EMAIL or "unknown" if unset or empty)

       csp

              Send a Content-Security-Policy HTTP header with this value.

              The value may contain a special string %nonce%,  which  will  be
              replaced  by  a  randomly-generated  one-time  use value. If the
              value contains %nonce%, web.cache will be disabled,  as  caching
              undermines  the  one-time property of the nonce. This nonce will
              also be inserted into <script> elements containing inline  Java-
              Script.

              Note:  lots  of  HTML content sent by the server is derived from
              repository data. Please consider  the  potential  for  malicious
              repository  data  to "inject" itself into generated HTML content
              as part of your security threat model.

       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 de-
              nied. 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  au-
              thenticated 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 descrip-
              tion). If both deny_read and allow_read are empty  or  not  set,
              then access is permitted to all users by default. If the reposi-
              tory 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 con-
              tents 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: "unknown")

       encoding

              Character  encoding  name. (default: the current locale charset)
              Example: "UTF-8".

       errorlog

              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 exten-
              sion. This will serve HTML files as text/html  and  might  allow
              cross-site  scripting  attacks  when serving untrusted reposito-
              ries. (default: False)

       hidden

              Whether to hide the repository in the hgwebdir index.  (default:
              False)

       ipv6

              Whether to use IPv6. (default: False)

       labels

              List of string labels associated with the repository.

              Labels are exposed as a template keyword and can be used to cus-
              tomize output. e.g. the  index  template  can  group  or  filter
              repositories  by labels and the summary template can display ad-
              ditional content if a specific label is present.

       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,  hgl-
              ogo.png will be used.

       logourl

              Base  URL to use for logos. If unset, https://mercurial-scm.org/
              will be used.

       maxchanges

              Maximum number of changes to list on  the  changelog.  (default:
              10)

       maxfiles

              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: 60)

       name

              Repository name to use in the web interface.  (default:  current
              working directory)

       port

              Port to listen on. (default: 8000)

       prefix

              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: 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.

              Values less than or equal to 0 always refresh.  (default: 20)

       server-header

              Value for HTTP Server response header.

       static

              Directory where static files are served from.

       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  out-
              put.  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:
              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 auto-
       matically 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" fil-
       ter (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  ex-
       pressions  follow  the old interhg extension syntax, which in turn imi-
       tates 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 di-
       rectory updates in parallel on Unix-like systems, which  greatly  helps
       performance.

       enabled

              Whether to enable workers code to be used.  (default: true)

       numcpus

              Number  of  CPUs to use for parallel operations. A zero or nega-
              tive value is treated as use the default.  (default:  4  or  the
              number of CPUs on the system, whichever is larger)

       backgroundclose

              Whether  to  enable  closing  file handles on background threads
              during certain operations. Some platforms aren't very  efficient
              at  closing  file handles that have been written or appended to.
              By performing file closing on  background  threads,  file  write
              rate  can  increase  substantially.   (default: true on Windows,
              false elsewhere)

       backgroundcloseminfilecount

              Minimum number of files  required  to  trigger  background  file
              closing.   Operations  not  writing  this many files won't start
              background close threads.  (default: 2048)

       backgroundclosemaxqueue

              The maximum number of opened file handles waiting to  be  closed
              in the background. This option only has an effect if background-
              close is enabled.  (default: 384)

       backgroundclosethreadcount

              Number of threads to process background file closes. Only  rele-
              vant if backgroundclose is enabled.  (default: 4)
