It doesn' refuse anything like that. When Mercurial starts, it reads
these configuration files:

  http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hgrc.5.html#files

Notice that they are all outside the clone's working directory, the
closes one is the <repo>/.hg/hgrc file.

As I wrote somewhere else in this thread, you can add

  %include ../.repo-settings

in your <repo>/.hg/hgrc file, and this will result in

  <repo>/.repo-settings

being loaded (and this file *is* in the working copy and can thus be put
under revision control).
