Hi, I commented on your StackOverflow question, great to see you here!

The only thing you can add is --debug. That will make Mercurial print
some more information. I tested it here by adding

  [paths]
  foo = http://foobar

  [http_proxy]
  host = no-such-host

to a .hg/hgrc file and then I get:

  $ incoming foo --debug
  using http://foobar/
  proxying through http://no-such-host:None
  sending capabilities command
  abort: error: Name or service not known

That shows me that

1) the foo is correctly expanded to a HTTP URL
2) the proxy config is read and hg tries to use it
