 From the first part of hg help config it mentions:
     The names of these files depend on the system on which Mercurial is
     installed. "*.rc" files from a single directory are read in 
alphabetical
     order, later ones overriding earlier ones. Where multiple paths are 
given
     below, settings from earlier paths override later ones.

     (All) "<repo>/.hg/hgrc"

         Per-repository configuration options that only apply in a 
particular
         repository. This file is not version-controlled, and will not get
         transferred during a "clone" operation. *Options in this file 
override**
**        options in all other configuration files.* On Plan 9 and Unix, 
most of
         this file will be ignored if it doesn't belong to a trusted 
user or to
         a trusted group. See the documentation for the "[trusted]" section
         below for more details.
So unless one of the options in your ~/.hgrc is actually crashing hg you 
can just create a .hg/hgrc in the local copy of the repo to override as 
necessary.
