            Bug ID: 3912
                CC: mercurial-devel at selenic.com
          Assignee: bugzilla at selenic.com
           Summary: can't forget files in nested repos
          Severity: bug
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: sid0 at fb.com
          Hardware: PC
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: unspecified
         Component: Mercurial
           Product: Mercurial

Interesting edge case I found:

$ hg init
$ mkdir foo
$ touch foo/bar
$ hg add foo/bar
$ hg st
A foo/bar
$ cd foo
$ hg init
$ cd ..
$ hg st
! foo/bar

This makes sense, but when you try to resolve this:

$ hg forget foo/bar
abort: path 'foo/bar' is inside nested repo 'foo'

The repo is now in an uncommittable state, unless you move foo/.hg somewhere
else first to fix it up.
