    20 Although cHg tries to update environment variables, some of them cannot be

    21 changed after spawning the server. The following variables are specially

    22 handled:

    23 

    24  * configuration files are reloaded if HGPLAIN or HGPLAINEXCEPT changed, but

    25    some behaviors won't change correctly.

    26  * CHGHG or HG specifies the path to the hg executable spawned as the

    27    background command server.

    28 

    29 The following variables are available for testing:

    30 

    31  * CHGDEBUG enables debug messages.

    32  * CHGSOCKNAME specifies the socket path of the background cmdserver.
