I like the proposed feature, but then I never configure [paths]
outside of a per-repo hgrc.  I prefer manually copying [paths] around
to having the wrong path available.

But if you do configure [paths] in you ~/.hgrc (or Mercurial.ini,
whatever), here's an idea: "hg showconfig --debug" knows where each
config setting comes from.  The information is in there somewhere.  So
could you use that when cloning to copy only the [paths] from
src_repo's local config?
