thg 2.5, hg 2.3.1, and check your extensions at the door

[Dave S]

Having tripped over THG issue 2140 (now marked as a duplicate of
2090), I think it may be worthwhile to remind users here that you made
need to update some of your extensions (or at least disable them while
waiting for upgrades) to use the latest Mercurial and Tortoises. In
my case, it was hg subversion. If you're using just the bundled
extensions, this may not apply to you.

And a reminder for us quick-witted Windows users, we probably are
looking for the file
c:\users\USERNAME\mercurial.ini

Would it be appropriate for installer packages to give you warnings to
check your unbundled extensions when you're updating?

FWIW, I'm hoping to do an hgsubversion release shortly. Sorry about the delay in getting a 2.3.x compatible release out the door.

My thinking there, such as it was, was that said installers would be
able to test for the presence of unbundled extensions, and use that to
cue the warning.
