That file was provided by bash_completion already. And the new release of mercurial now provides it as well.
So for now, move that /etc/bash_completion.d/hg out of the way, then choose the one you want to use and remove the other.
And you could report that problem to bugs.archlinux.org . Reporting doesn't help much usually.

Reporting doesn't help?

Hmmmm.

Oops, that was meant to be : reporting here.
Because, as far as I know, not all developers read the forums.

Before I report a bug, I post it in the forum. In this way I can find out, "stupid I am" or "it is a bug"

That is a good rule of thumb.

When you get conflict errors like that, it is sometimes helpful to see which package thinks it owns the file right now..

pacman -Qo /path/to/file

That can help with the bug report too.
