I'm confused, because I think it's a straight up bug. The error
message says there are uncommitted changes. However, if you do
hg commit
it will say there is nothing to commit. I think the code for
checking for uncommitted changes is wrong, since it uses "hg status"
and ignores the possibility of files that are not in the repo and not
in .hgignore, hence gets thrown off by all those untracked files
(which are listed with a ? in the output of "hg status").
