I guess if we are talking about /home/*/hgrc, then yes, only having to
set it once is not that big a deal, but if we want to customize any
[web] options in each repos, then we have to do it once for each
repository.  Since we may wish to create many such "branches" as the
cost is low, then this becomes a burden, as it is an additional
required step after a clone.

So, again, my question is how/can this be avoided all together?
