But I did say how it might be improved: Add a README file.

A README file would not fix the fact that thg is not working for me, but 
it would be a step forward, and an easy one.

Another suggestion is to fix the Ubuntu package so it doesn't force me 
to install a version of Mercurial that thg will then proceed to complain 
about. Instead, it should look in my PATH, and if there is a variable 
called HGPATH, that should be mentioned in the README (incidentally, 
setting HGPATH doesn't help).


With these changes, I would still be annoyed that thg doesn't work, but 
I would not feel like the developers have a total disregard for users.

A recipe? I might have misunderstood, but what more detail do you need 
than "add a README file"?
