subrepo: print the status line before creating the peer for better diagnostics I ran into a problem where I tried updating to a different branch, and the process appeared to hang. It turned out that the subrepo revision wasn't available locally, and I must have originally cloned it from an `hg serve -S` on a machine that currently wasn't serving anything. It took 2+ minutes to timeout, and didn't mention what it was connecting to even then. There are a couple of other issues in this scenario too. - The repo is dirty after the failed checkout because the top level repo is updated first. We should probably make 2 passes- top down to pull everything needed, and then do an update once everything is in place. - Something must be reading .hgsubstate from wdir because if the same merge command is run after the timeout, a prompt is issued that the local and remote subrepo diverged, instead of hanging. But it lists the local version and remote version as having the same hash.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
