It reloads workingctx, i.e., scans all files under working directory.
So yes, it's a kind of expensive operation, though I can't tell why
it takes over 18 minutes.
TortoiseHg kicks this function when running an action to modify working copy
or opening commit tab. You can disable the latter case by setting
"Commit" -> "Monitor working directory chnages" to "auto".
FWIW, how long does it take to complete "hg status" command?
and how many files does the repository have?
