In particular, I wouldn't use mercurial without a .hgrc like this:

   [ui]
   editor = emacs -nw

   [extensions]
   color =
   pager =
   record =
   graphlog =
   purge =
   progress =
   transplant =

   [pager]
   pager = LESS='FSRX' less
   attend = annotate, cat, diff, export, glog, log, qdiff, heads

histedit and rebase are also useful but not for my usual workflows.

For the record, you don't need to enable the transplant and graphlog extensions anymore. Those are now part of core mercurial:

- The transplant extension has become the "graft" core command (do "hg help graft" for more details) - The graphlog extension functionality has been rolled into the core log command. You must simply use the --graph (or the equivalent -G) flag.

Not quite - graft doesn't support remote repositories, transplant does. I didn't know about hg log --graph, I think the muscle memory I have for hg glog will take a little while to break :)

Thanks for the tip.

You are right. That is a small limitation of the graft command compared to the transplant extension. As far as I know that is the only difference between them. I have never needed to do that so I forgot to mention it, sorry!

You can always do

   [alias]
   glog = log --graph

I guess.
