Subrepositories also need to amend status to tell what files are 
added/removed/changed, and similarly to bfiles, need to say that those 
files aren't handled in the hg repos proper.

So, more extensions than bfiles need to amend status somehow, and they 
should do so uniformly, to simplify things for everyone.
