The purpose is very simple.  When you do something like this:

hg init a
hg init a/b

and then go into "a" and run "hg status", it prevents Mercurial from
thinking that the files in b belong to repository "a".  Mercurial won't
recurse into "b".

What this means in practice is that you can have a "build" repository
and a pile of project repositories under it, and manage them all
independently without the build repo picking up changes that rightfully
belong to some of the repos under it.
