Because in most cases the config entries you really want are in the
webdir config even when you have a repo available.  You basically want
the repo to override the webdir settings if it has any config entries
that would.

So, unless there's a way to combine the config entries from two ui
instances in a clean way, this is what I choose.

Anyway, I'm tired of spending hours and hours fiddling every patch I
submit.  Especially when I'm fixing some bug introduced by another patch
that likely didn't get enough review.  (Why does the code in a
particular function both check to see if the repo is not None and also
act like the repo can never be None?)  The last time I tried to submit
patches I spent at least 6 times as long revising patches and sending
them in than I did creating them in the first place.  I would've done
better just maintaining the branches on my own and not submitting
anything.  I have a whole ton of other changes I've made where I've done
just that because it's not worth it.

*sigh*,

people use them is a blatant misunderstanding of the nature of language.
