guix/gnu/packages/patches/mercurial-hg-extension-path.patch

This is needed to make Mercurial read the HGEXTENSIONPATH to detect
third-party extensions.  It is called HGEXTENSIONPATH and not
HG_EXTENSION_PATH to keep it consistent with other environment variables for
Mercurial, e.g. HGENCODINGAMBIGUOUS, HGEDITOR ...  Hopefully I or someone else
will get this into Mercurial proper.
