-Mercurial has the ability to add new features through the use of
-extensions. Extensions may add new commands, add options to
-existing commands, change the default behavior of commands, or
-implement hooks.
-
-Extensions are not loaded by default for a variety of reasons:
-they can increase startup overhead; they may be meant for advanced
-usage only; they may provide potentially dangerous abilities (such
-as letting you destroy or modify history); they might not be ready
-for prime time; or they may alter some usual behaviors of stock
-Mercurial. It is thus up to the user to activate extensions as
-needed.
-
-To enable the "foo" extension, either shipped with Mercurial or in
-the Python search path, create an entry for it in your hgrc, like
-this::
-
-  [extensions]
-  foo =
-
-You may also specify the full path to an extension::
-
-  [extensions]
-  myfeature = ~/.hgext/myfeature.py
-
-To explicitly disable an extension enabled in an hgrc of broader
-scope, prepend its path with !::
-
-  [extensions]
-  # disabling extension bar residing in /path/to/extension/bar.py
-  hgext.bar = !/path/to/extension/bar.py
-  # ditto, but no path was supplied for extension baz
-  hgext.baz = !
