    particular repository. 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
    Unix, most of this file will be ignored if it doesn't belong to a
    trusted user or to a trusted group. See the documentation for the
    Trusted section below for more details.

| (Unix) ``$HOME/.hgrc``
| (Windows) ``%USERPROFILE%\.hgrc``
| (Windows) ``%USERPROFILE%\Mercurial.ini``
| (Windows) ``%HOME%\.hgrc``

``auth``
""""""""

Authentication credentials for HTTP authentication. This section
allows you to store usernames and passwords for use when logging
*into* HTTP servers. See the web_ configuration section if you want to
configure *who* can login to your HTTP server.

Each line has the following format::

    <name>.<argument> = <value>

    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.

    Template string for commands that print changesets.

``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.

``portablefilenames``
    Check for portable filenames. Can be ``warn``, ``ignore`` or ``abort``.
    Default is ``warn``.
    If set to ``warn`` (or ``true``), a warning message is printed on POSIX
