You may be right here. I originally suggested just path-prefix
matching. Repository root node matching probably would be better
here.

Pointer to another configuration file basically:
1. Simplifies code (existing config parser will do the trick).
2. Allows configuration reuse if you have several different repos
that require identical settings (with you aproach this will be
cut-n-paste).
So I still think
[include]
9117c6561b0b = .hgrc-something
would be better, even if you prefer to omit anything but root node
matching.
