[issue3308] AttributeError during archive with -S switch

[Phil John]

New submission from Phil John <philjohn at gmail.com>:

Just tried to use the "archive" command as part of creating a mercurial
based deploy workflow. The following command:

hg archive -I "src/" ../deploy_root

worked fine, however when I tried to add in the subrepos with:

hg archive -I "src/" -S ../deploy_root

the following error occured:

** unknown exception encountered, please report by visiting

This is a custom compiled Mercurial 2.1 on CentOS 6.2 (I can provide an RPM
of this specific build of hg if required).
