One consideration is that repositories often only require
authentication for pushing, but not pulling. So if you clone a
repository with auth info in the URL, it's remembered in hgrc, but not
sent over the network until pushing.

I'd prefer sending passwords over the network as rarely as possible,
even at the cost of an extra round-trip.
