  On Plan 9 and Unix, most of this file will be ignored if it doesn't
  belong to a trusted user or to a trusted group. See
  :hg:`help config.trusted` for more details.

Per-user configuration file(s) are for the user running Mercurial. On
Windows 9x, ``%HOME%`` is replaced by ``%APPDATA%``. Options 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.

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
translate line ending characters between Windows (CRLF) and Unix (LF)
format. We suggest you use the ``eol`` extension for convenience.

``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 ${ProgramFiles} 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

  (default: False)

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

``regkey``
  Windows registry key which describes install location of this
  tool. Mercurial will search for this key first under
  ``HKEY_CURRENT_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)


``patch``
---------

      Alias for ``warn``.

    ``false``
      Alias for ``ignore``.

    .. container::

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

``quiet``
    Reduce the amount of output printed.
