You'd have to take this up with Mercurial's BDFL Matt. He is a strong advocate for teaching users to learn edit their .hg/hgrc files.
Well, I guess it's doubtful I'd change his mind then. :)
Regarding Bazaar: FWIW, I periodically retried the speed of 'bzr check' - and always gave up again looking at bzr due to the horrible slowness of that command. If I have to use a DVCS I want to be able to check the integrity of my clones in reasonable time. I do it with a cron job on our internal server here and I expect it to have finished checking all our repos when I get to my desk in the morning and look into my email inbox, reading the daily email with the result of the verify runs.
After all, we do have everything secured with hashes, so we can use them, don't we?
Do you know how thorough 'bzr check' is? I don't, but then I've never used it or felt the need to. ;)
Oh, and 'bzr info' always tells you what the push and pull locations are.
You can use 'hg paths' for that:
Nice, thanks. -Barry
