[issue1097] Clean command useless on Macs

[Jesse Glick]

New submission from Jesse Glick <jesse.glick at sun.com>:

Mac users report that if they have modified files in a repository (but all
non-ignorable files tracked) and run 'hg clean --all', Hg reports

Purging on name mangling filesystems is not fully supported.
abort: outstanding uncommitted changes

This effectively makes the 'clean' command useless in a cross-platform
development team.

'hg status' knows how to deal with such filesystems, so I think 'hg clean'
should too.
