Couldn't you make the same argument for the main repo? Supporting
subdirectories complicates things for regular hg too, so why not
disallow them?

More to the point, hg already does support subdirectories -- mq should
just use the same code, and then update the series file. The series
file itself doesn't care at all about /.
