Created attachment 144050 [details] Proposed port patch provided by gjb As part of the set up and ongoing running of hg-beta.freebsd.org, I make use of a patch against devel/mercurial which allows me to append a suffix to author names during the svn -> hg incremental conversion process. clusteradm@ are working to streamline the package management on cluster hosts and it would simplify things for them if the hg-beta.freebsd.org jail did not make use of any custom compiled software. The patch in question is at [1]. and after discussion with upstream [2,3] it was decided not to fold it into the official Mercurial distribution. I'm hoping to carry the patch in our mercurial/devel port as an off-by-default option which clusteradm@ can then enable for cluster package builds via poudriere.

I'll take it
