No big reason. To use Sage's hg, I need to add something to my path, and since I have Sage trees here and there, this is harder than doing nothing and using the system hg. Just because I ride my bike to work doesn't mean I think walking is a bad way to get to work. That's not a very accurate metaphor, but the idea is right: using a different version of Mercurial does not imply that I think Sage's version is broken, improperly configured, insufficient for my needs, or whatever. > 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.
