On Windows look for mercurial.ini in $USERPROFILE, too, if available as os.path.expanduser('~') does not always yield a useful directory. Based on a patch from Edouard Gomez <ed.gomez@free.fr>

#!/bin/sh

hg init
echo This is file a1 > a
hg add a
hg commit -m "commit #0" -d "1000000 0"
touch b
hg add b
rm b
hg commit -A -m"comment #1" -d "1000000 0"
