Which improvements to subrepo support made it into 1.7?

Hi,

can you guys tell me which of the recent improvements to subrepo support
made it into Mercurial 1.7? We use subrepos quite heavily in our project so
I'd like to understand the changes before we deploy 1.7 within our team.

I downloaded the latest nightly of the QT branch of TortoiseHg and I saw
that the "hg status" command now supports the "-S" option. However, the
subrepository changes are not preceded by a line indicating that the
modifyied files belong to a subrepo as it was recently discussed on the
mailing list.

On the other hand, if you don't use the "-S" option "hg status" does not
show any of that the subrepo has some changes when a subrepo is "dirty" (as
changes in its working copy). I don't know if this is the expected final
behaviour of "hg status" or if this is something that may be changed in the
future and just did not make it into 1.7.

Cheers,

Angel

P.S.- BTW, it is nice that TortoiseHg now shows you which files changed
within a subrepo in its commit window :-)
