I don't think a debug message would work because ordinary users will never
see it. Is that common to work on largefiles repo without enabling the
extension globally?

Well, that's the bug of TortoiseHg if it doesn't redirect ui.ferr.
FWIW, I like the idea of enabling storage extensions automatically.
