A similar use case for an easy option to suppress defaults is with the
new rebase extension: hg pull --update --rebase aborts.

Now, I don't know if it's good practice, but I have "-u" in my defaults
for hg pull, so if I want to pull --rebase this will be awkward.  Maybe
--rebase can just override --update, or with a new global option (strawman: -D)
I could do "hg -D pull --rebase" which would be fine with me.

cheers,
Georg

two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
