How does one configure mercurial hg to not retain backups by default?

I never use those .orig files, and I hate cleaning them up manually. Is there a way to configure hg revert to use the --no-backups option by default? I can't find it in the Mercurial manual Using a shell alias is possible but isn't desirable.
