I think that's pretty clear: the text "300 # max lines of diffs..." is
not an integer. So where is it getting that text?

That text last appeared in Mercurial's help in 1.9 (July 2011):

http://www.selenic.com/hg/file/de9eb6b1da4f/hgext/notify.py#l34

But as far as I can tell, we've never actually accepted trailing
comments on config items, so anyone who copied this into their config
would get this error.

At any rate, it's not coming from Mercurial any more, which means it's
coming from your machine somewhere. You might be able to spot it with
'hg config --debug'.
