Well it certainly wouldn't be by default on.

Thanks for your comments though :) !
I still feel its sometimes too easy to stuff up. Just see the other recent thread a couple of minutes ago, about patch queues and possible data loss. Basically, I want to be able to undo more than one time. Thats the goal.
How its implemented is of course secondary... So the question is do you not even want that goal of being able to undo a couple of operations, or its just that having an environment variable HGDIRNAME is of no interest to you? Its cool if it isn't... :)
Cheers & thanks,
Jas
