The more one looks at it, the messier it gets ;)

hgrc.5.txt already uses <repo>/.hg/hgrc

Seems better to me, but more rewrapping needed.

How about .hgignore? .hgtags?

Rewrapping command doc strings to a smaller width is indicated as
well, as in hg.1 they are displayed with a huge indent.

Do something about it? Or just wait until someone comes up with
man format without asciidoc?
