narrow_widen_acl: enforce narrowacl in narrow_widen (SEC)
Reviewer note: this was sent by the author as a simple bugfix, but can be
considered a security patch, since it allows users to access things outside
of the ACL, hence the (SEC) prefix.
However, this affects the `narrow` extention which is still marked as
experimental and has relatively few users aside from large companies with
their own security layers on top from what we can gather.
We feel (Alphare: or at least, I feel) like pinging the packaging list is
enough in this case.
Create a repo, set the username to something more than 255 bytes, then run hg amend on it.
