+Aliases allow you to define your own commands in terms of other
+commands (or aliases), optionally including arguments.
+
+Alias definitions consist of lines of the form::
+
+    <alias> = <command> [<argument]...
+
+For example, this definition::
+
+    latest = log --limit 5
+
+creates a new command ``latest`` that shows only the five most recent
+changesets. You can define subsequent aliases using earlier ones::
+
+    stable5 = latest -b stable
+
+.. note:: It is possible to create aliases with the same names as
+   existing commands, which will then override the original
+   definitions. This is almost always a bad idea!

+Authentication credentials for HTTP authentication. This section
+allows you to store usernames and passwords for use when logging
+*into* HTTP servers. See the web_ configuration section if you want to
+configure *who* can login to your HTTP server.
+
+Each line has the following format::
+
+    <name>.<argument> = <value>
+
+where ``<name>`` is used to group arguments into authentication
+entries. Example::
+
+    foo.prefix = hg.intevation.org/mercurial
+    foo.username = foo
+    foo.password = bar
+    foo.schemes = http https
+
+    bar.prefix = secure.example.org
+    bar.key = path/to/file.key
+    bar.cert = path/to/file.cert
+    bar.schemes = https
+
+Supported arguments:
+
+``prefix``
+    Either ``*`` or a URI prefix with or without the scheme part.
+    The authentication entry with the longest matching prefix is used
+    (where ``*`` matches everything and counts as a match of length
+    1). If the prefix doesn't include a scheme, the match is performed
+    against the URI with its scheme stripped as well, and the schemes
+    argument, q.v., is then subsequently consulted.
+``username``
+    Optional. Username to authenticate with. If not given, and the
+    remote site requires basic or digest authentication, the user will
+    be prompted for it. Environment variables are expanded in the
+    username letting you do ``foo.username = $USER``.
+``password``
+    Optional. Password to authenticate with. If not given, and the
+    remote site requires basic or digest authentication, the user
+    will be prompted for it.
+``key``
+    Optional. PEM encoded client certificate key file. Environment
+    variables are expanded in the filename.
+``cert``
+    Optional. PEM encoded client certificate chain file. Environment
+    variables are expanded in the filename.
+``schemes``
+    Optional. Space separated list of URI schemes to use this
+    authentication entry with. Only used if the prefix doesn't include
+    a scheme. Supported schemes are http and https. They will match
+    static-http and static-https respectively, as well.
+    Default: https.
+
+If no suitable authentication entry is found, the user is prompted
+for credentials as usual if required by the remote.

+(defaults are deprecated. Don't use them. Use aliases instead)
+
+Use the ``[defaults]`` section to define command defaults, i.e. the
+default options/arguments to pass to the specified commands.
+
+The following example makes :hg:`log` run in verbose mode, and
+:hg:`status` show only the modified files, by default::
+
+  [defaults]
+  log = -v
+  status = -m
+
+The actual commands, instead of their aliases, must be used when
+defining command defaults. The command defaults will also be applied
+to the aliases of the commands defined.
