It doesn't work on normal Mercurial command server. And you can't set the other
(no-dash) hooks and config values in uisetup(). That's why I said "In general,
you can't do ui.setconfig() in uisetup() and extsetup()." It only works if
the config value is processed in the dispatcher immediately after uisetup() is
called.

Again, it isn't TortoiseHg's fault. (I know TortoiseHg is likely to have more
bugs than Mercurial, but this issue isn't.) TortoiseHg just run commands over
the Mercurial command server. If you doubt, test without TortoiseHg.
