Three related questions that perhaps you could answer more easily
from your prior knowledge, than I could answer by having to test things:

1) Should I also expect, after applying this patch series, that I can
    push changes in my local hg-git repository back up to its origin
    on github, by << having my github username/password in my ~/.hgrc
    file >> ?

2) Or are these equivalent - meaning does having my github username/
    password in ~/.hgrc file _cause_ that username and password to be
   automatically embedded in the github URL to which such an hg push
    will attempt to connect, when pushing back up to github?

3) Is having my github username and password embedded in the URL
    when pushing back up to github woefully insecure ?  Does it expose
    my github password in plain text to any one able to lurk on the
    connection being setup between my local system and github?
