Make status look into subrepositories by default:

  $ echo '[defaults]' >> $HGRCPATH

  $ echo 'status = -S' >> $HGRCPATH

Create test repository:

  $ hg init

  $ echo x1 > x.txt

  $ hg add x.txt

  $ hg init foo

  $ cd foo

  $ echo y1 > y.txt

  $ hg add y.txt

  $ hg init bar

  $ cd bar

  $ echo z1 > z.txt

  $ hg add z.txt

  $ cd ..

  $ echo 'bar = bar' > .hgsub

  $ hg add .hgsub

  $ cd ..

  $ echo 'foo = foo' > .hgsub

  $ hg add .hgsub

  $ hg commit -m 0-0-0

  committing subrepository foo

  committing subrepository foo/bar

  $ cd foo

  $ echo y2 >> y.txt

  $ hg commit -m 0-1-0

  $ cd bar

  $ echo z2 >> z.txt

  $ hg commit -m 0-1-1

  $ cd ..

  $ hg commit -m 0-2-1

  committing subrepository bar

  $ cd ..

  $ hg commit -m 1-2-1

  committing subrepository foo

Change working directory:

  $ echo y3 >> foo/y.txt

  $ echo z3 >> foo/bar/z.txt

  $ hg status

  M foo/bar/z.txt

  M foo/y.txt

Status call crossing repository boundaries:

  $ hg status foo/bar/z.txt

  M foo/bar/z.txt

  $ hg status -I 'foo/?.txt'

  M foo/y.txt

  $ hg status -I '**/?.txt'

  M foo/bar/z.txt

  M foo/y.txt

Status from within a subdirectory:

  $ mkdir dir

  $ cd dir

  $ echo a1 > a.txt

  $ hg status

  M foo/bar/z.txt

  M foo/y.txt

  ? dir/a.txt

Status with relative path:

  $ hg status ..

  M ../foo/bar/z.txt

  M ../foo/y.txt

  ? a.txt

  $ cd ..

Status between revisions:

  $ rm -r dir

  $ hg commit -m 2-2-1

  committing subrepository foo

  committing subrepository foo/bar

  $ hg status

  $ hg status --rev 0:1

  M .hgsubstate

  M foo/.hgsubstate

  M foo/bar/z.txt

  M foo/y.txt
