hg: drop support for hg web.hidden

Kallithea is not hgweb and should not try to support hgweb config options.

If someone wants to hide repos, they should just remove all access to them.

(_If_ Kallithea should support some kind of more thorough repo hiding, it
should be implemented differently: The hidden repos should not be in the
database and should thus instead be excluded when scanning for repos.)

.. _git_support:

===========
GIT support
===========


Git support in Kallithea 1.3 was enabled by default. You need to have a git
client installed on the machine to make git fully work.

Although There is one limitation on git usage.

- large pushes requires a http server with chunked encoding support.

if you plan to use git you need to run Kallithea with some
http server that supports chunked encoding which git http protocol uses,
i recommend using waitress_ or gunicorn_ (linux only) for `paste` wsgi app
replacement. Starting from version 1.4 waitress_ is the default wsgi server
used in Kallithea.

To use, simply change change the following in the .ini file::

    use = egg:Paste#http

to::

    use = egg:waitress#main

or::

    use = egg:gunicorn#main


And comment out bellow options::

    threadpool_workers =
    threadpool_max_requests =
    use_threadpool =


You can simply run `paster serve` as usual.


You can always disable git/hg support by editing a
file **kallithea/__init__.py** and commenting out backends

.. code-block:: python

   BACKENDS = {
       'hg': 'Mercurial repository',
       #'git': 'Git repository',
   }
