If the info is local and not per-repository, could you just store it  
wherever apps normally store preferences (a dot-prefixed file in the  
home directory, the Registry, ~/Library/Preferences...)?

I've been meaning to ask a similar question about info that _is_  
specific to a particular local repository. Is it kosher to put my own  
file into the ".hg" subdirectory? I'd give it a distinctive name to  
avoid conflicts.
