That seems like a bit of a reach.  Right now, -0 is primarily useful for 
piping into xargs -0; forcing the user to add a separate flag to make 
the most common usage work seems wrong. 

If people want to start parsing the output of commands and \n becomes a 
valid filename character, then there could be a separate option for 'hg 
status' to allow that, but it strikes me that there are probably better 
ways to solve the problem in that case.
