            Bug ID: 5755
           Summary: Uppercase section headings in hgrc or mercurial.ini do
                    not work
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: 4.1.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: bug
          Priority: wish
         Component: Mercurial
          Assignee: bugzilla at mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: kurti.vdb at gmail.com
                CC: mercurial-devel at mercurial-scm.org

When using uppercase section headings in any hgrc or mercurial.ini file, things
behave strange or stop working. Using e.g. an uppercase [PATHS] section results
in the 'abort: repository default not found!' error.

It seems that these section headings need to be lower case, although I cannot
find any references about this on the hgrc section page
(https://www.mercurial-scm.org/doc/hgrc.5.html). I thought the Python
ConfigParser.ConfigParser() is used for this and that its default behaviour is
to convert those names to lowercase. Tested this with version 4.0.1 and 4.1.1

Is this a document bug, or a bug in the parser?
