It should be possible to provide `hgrc.d` file for enabling the extension.

Can not enable it even manually.

    [extensions]
    hg-git =

    $ hg clone git+https://github.com/techtonik/notfar.git
    *** failed to import extension hg-git: No module named hg-git

The same with hggit.

    *** failed to import extension hggit: No module named hggit

So how to install it? I am using official instructions from https://bitbucket.org/durin42/hg-git/src/default/

I could install it by casting my Python-fu over https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/all/mercurial-git/filelist and not everybody possess such great skills as me. I wonder how many people could not install the extension because of missing instructions.

Anyway, the answer is:

    [extensions]
    git =

But for /etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/hggit.rc the correct line would be:

    [extensions]
    hggit = /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/hgext/git

This way people can trace back to original package source.
