Details

I already had the following in my ~/.hgrc: [extensions] hgext.mq = After mach made me run mercurial-setup, it has appended "mq = " to the list. It seems like it doesn't parse the above syntax so it couldn't detect my existing extensions.
The "hgext." prefix isn't necessary. Mercurial first tries to "import X" where "X" is the key from [extensions]. If that fails, "import hgext.X" is attempted. If that fails, you see a warning about the extension failing to load. But this is still a bug in mercurial-setup.
Oh, I see. I never understood why some recommended one or the other. :-)
