These files do not exist by default and you will have to create the appropriate configuration files yourself: global configuration like the username setting is typically put into ``%USERPROFILE%\mercurial.ini`` or ``$HOME/.hgrc`` and local configuration is put into the per-repository ``<repo>/.hg/hgrc`` file. -If there is a per-repository configuration file which is not owned by -the active user, Mercurial will warn you that the file is skipped:: - - not trusting file <repo>/.hg/hgrc from untrusted user USER, group GROUP - -If this bothers you, the warning can be silenced (the file would still -be ignored) or trust can be established.
