Path names are defined in the [paths] section of /etc/mercurial/hgrc
and $HOME/.hgrc. If run inside a repository, .hg/hgrc is used, too.
- The names 'default' and 'default-push' have a special meaning.
- They are the locations used when pulling and pushing respectively
- unless a location is specified. When cloning a repository, the
- clone source is written as 'default' in .hg/hgrc.
+ The path names ``default`` and ``default-push`` have a special
+ meaning. When performing a push or pull operation, they are used
+ as fallbacks if no location is specified on the command-line.
+ When ``default-push`` is set, it will be used for push and
+ ``default`` will be used for pull; otherwise ``default`` is used
+ as the fallback for both. When cloning a repository, the clone
+ source is written as ``default`` in ``.hg/hgrc``. Note that
+ ``default`` and ``default-push`` apply to all inbound (e.g. ``hg
+ incoming``) and outbound (e.g. ``hg outgoing``, ``hg email`` and
+ ``hg bundle``) operations.
See :hg:`help urls` for more information.
