[ANN] hg-config

[Steve Borho]

Hello,

I've created an extension that provides a framework for generating small
GUI apps for editing a user's various Mercurial config files.

For starters, the extension provides two apps:

hg username
hg webconf

hg username pops up a dialog that allows the user to specify a username
and then chose to store it either in their user-global ~/.hgrc ||
Mercurial.ini or in their repo-local .hg/hgrc.  It also provides a hook
so that you can add "[hooks] precommit.username = hgconf.uname.hook" in
the system-wide hgrc.  The hook will automatically spawn the username
dialog if no username is configured when a user tries to commit.

hg webconf allows the user to configure the [web] section of a
repository's .hg/hgrc file.

It uses cfgparser to modify the INI files without losing comments or
other context.  It uses PyQt4 as it's GUI toolkit, similar to Qct.  The
initial intent is to roll this into the "Batteries Included" Windows
installer, so there's no setup.py for it yet.

Cheers.

Oh yeah, you can find it here: http://hg.borho.org
