passed through to mercurial -u. Will mercurial choke on this?
* Nope. Mercurial doesn't expect any particular format for the username,
though "Name <address@domain>" is standard. --[[bma]]
+* The way `-u $user` is passed to `hg commit`, there's no way to tell
+ if a given commit came in over the web or was done directly. So
+ rcs_recentchanges hardcodes 'committype => "mercurial"'. See the monotone
+ backend for an example of one that does this right.
* The rcs_commit implementation seems not to notice if the file has been
changed since a web edit started. Unlike all the other frontends, which
use the rcstoken to detect if the web commit started editing an earlier
blindly overwrite the current file with the web edited version, losing
any other changes.
