Thanks for the tip.  The problem is that I want to set the http proxy for
some hg repos, not all.  And while I can do that if I specify the actual
proxy server in the .hgrc I thought it would be nicer if the .hgrc
referenced an environment variable so I could change that in one place (the
env. var.) instead of editing every .hgrc that is setting http proxy.


How many different hosts are you working with?  Could you configure the
proxy globally in your ~/.hgrc and use the "no" setting to disable it for
certain hosts?

Alternatively, you could use %include in the hgrc files to pull proxy
settings from a single file.

Hope that helps,

Simon
