I'm thinking that if this is the case then it doesn't make much sense to
me that you are ok to leave unknown files in the default output of hg
status. Could you enlighten me of what's the point of showing unknown
files (no matter if they're in orphaned or non-orhaned directories) if
you're not interested at all to see the garbage that has been left
around with the default option of hg status?
