hgrc

Hi, all.

I used mercurial in a personal project, and I have been typing my username and password everytime I want to push something up to the server.

I have tried to add the following in the .hgrc file in my home dir, but it seems to be ignored at all.

[ui]
username = MY_USER_NAME
password = MY_PASSWORD

Please teach me how to do this in the right way, thanks in advance.
