So bravo for the folks who heeded this advice:

>> 	internal (open):      /net/elpaso.eng/export/gate-hg

>> 	external (open-only): ssh://anon at hg dot opensolaris dot org/hg/onnv/onnv-gate
>>   ...and go for it.

...and we're working on addressing your feedback.

Some of which led to: please cease and desist in using the paths listed
above.  Mercurial performance over nfs is suboptimal.

Instead, please use the newly-created clones:

 	ssh://elpaso.eng//export/clone-hg
 	ssh://elpaso.eng//export/clone-hg/usr/closed

You'll be happier for a variety of reasons:

- it will be faster
- ultimately, it's The Right Thing
- there is no hgrc in the clone repo, so you won't get trusted warnings
