Since users are probably going to edit the per-repository file more
often than your global config, how about:

  hg config
  hg config --global

where the first edits .hg/hgrc and the second ~/.hgrc? --global may
sound like it would edit /etc/hgrc, maybe --user or --home is better.
Anyway, the point is to make the most used command shortest and easiest
to remember.
