Why? Is the one we ship broken?

My whole point is: *If* people find a problem with the hg we ship (or
just any other package for what it is worth) they should complain, not
only work around it somehow. If one uses the system hg because they
have configured it in a special way and because they use it outside of
Sage that is fine by me obviously. I just would like to know about
problems as in Nicolas' original email.
