Personally, I think this is the problem here. Surely we shouldn't be
even attempting to remove the repository directory in the first place?
Relying on the facts that (a) rmdir doesn't work on a non-empty
directory and (b) the repository root will always contain a .hg
subdirectory, seems to be asking for trouble. This case shows (a)
failing, and if someone ever implements a change to allow the .hg
directory to be stored elsewhere, (b) would then fail too.

Better to fix the real problem here, in my view.

Paul.
