Not saying things couldn't be improved, but the text ends in:

   use 'hg help -c config' to see help for the config command

Perhaps there could be an introductory paragraph stating effectively the 
same only at the beginning. Not sure how many cases exist where the 
actual command and a related help topic have the same name. All these 
pages should prominently remind the user that they might not be looking 
at the page they expected.

Cheers,
Marcus
