So it would be .hgrules/<extensionname>? With the extension then
defining the contents of the rule file?

An alternative would be to go one level deeper and have:

.hgrules/required/<extensionname>
.hgrules/optional/<extensionname>

If an extension rule file appeared in the first subdirectory then hg
would refuse to operate on the repository without that extension being
enabled.

I guess something like that might be nice to have, but the support for
negative filtering and versioned rule definitions is all we really need
from a python-dev point of view.

Cheers,
Nick.
