Yes, that would be convenient when it works -- but very annoying if it
ever fails and you end up with corrupt files. That is why Mercurial has
a policy of not messing around with your data by default.

If you are in a trusted environment, then you can ask people to run my
projrc extension. That will make Mercurial read .hg/projrc in addition
to .hg/hgrc and the .hg/projrc file is copied from the server to the
clients when they pull.
