> Here are 4 patches concerning patchbomb:
> 
> 1. removes a description specific to patchbomb behaviour from
>   hgrc.5.
> 
> 2. documents the use of [patchbomb] as configuration section.
> 
> 3. changes patchbomb behaviour wrt to the Cc prompt:
>   prompts are reduced to those cases when Cc is
>   a) not configured AND b) --to option is not given.
> 
> 4. is a cosmetic change and can of course be left out.
> 
> 
> After discussing 3. on irc and lengthy testing this behaviour
> change makes the most sense to me:
> 
> a) it does not introduce any magic evaluation of hgrc like my
>   previous patch does ("cc =" suppresses prompt), even though
>   it made some sense from the user's pov: "I want to _configure_
>   whether or not I'm prompted for Cc. The clean way would then
>   be to have a (additional) boolean like `askcc'.
> 
> b) the behaviour change is minimal: only 2 cases.
> 
> For reference I include the table from the 3rd patch's
> description again here (* marks behaviour change):
