Joey, Aha, awesome to hear =). Looking forward to the next release. Any idea of when that might be, or a tentative date/month when it might hit Debian?
Also, regarding your second part about HOME=~root being set, my apologies if this seems a basic question but will that have any effect on the HG author field being correctly set to the underlying sudo user? Or will it only affect where it pulls the .hgrc file, say?
