> and according to "hg showconfig", it wasn't, yet it didn't ignore any
> problems either.
> The documentation page tells me I need a file containing certificates, but
> me being an absolutely idiot when it comes to certificate handling and
> processing, I did not know where to get hold of such a file, or beyond the
> text on the documentation page, what it would contain.
