Nice summary -- completely agree on the implementation description. I
actually claim that your goal in this implementation is incorrect ;)

It means that `hg status` used to reply: "You called me at t1, here is
the state of the system at t2".
But with your extension it replies to the user: "You called me at t1,
here is the state of the system at t0." (-v --sarcasm output appends:
"oh, did you change something in the meantime? HA! Tough luck, buddy.
If you try again I might answer correctly. Maybe.")
