Environment variables are not visible by default

  $ PATTERN='t4' hg log -r '.' -T "{ifcontains('PATTERN', envvars, 'yes', 'no')}\n"

  no

Environment variable visibility can be explicit

  $ PATTERN='t4' hg log -r '.' -T "{envvars % '{key} -> {value}\n'}" \

  >                 --config "experimental.exportableenviron=PATTERN"

  PATTERN -> t4

  $ hg add foo/a

  $ hg commit -qm "add foo/a"

  $ hg cat --output "output/%p" foo/a

  $ cat output/foo/a
