config: give a more detailed sample repo config

Some examples of the typical configurations that one might want to do
in an .hg/hgrc file. This includes a default-push that happens to
point to the same location as my-fork.

I insist on the myfork terminology for a server-side clone. Bitbucket,
Github, and others have widely popularised this meaning of "fork".

This also includes a gentle nudge to use a repo-specific username,
which is something that people might not instinctively realise is an
option.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See http://mercurial.selenic.com/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
