That's the behavior of "hg status" when you explicitly specify the
current working directory with "hg status .", i.e.:

keramida at kobe:/home/keramida/cron.d$ hg stat .
M crontab.keramida
keramida at kobe:/home/keramida/cron.d$ hg stat
M .bashrc
M cron.d/crontab.keramida
keramida at kobe:/home/keramida/cron.d$
