[Bug 1115335] Re: hg displays errors in pre-commit.d/20warn-problem-files

[Laurent Voisin]

I've spent two hours this morning chasing this bug.

The cause that triggered the bug was that the /etc repository had been
cloned by a sysadmin to another directory in the same filesystem.
Therefore, to save space, Mercurial had made hardlinks on almost all the
files in the repository thus triggering a line

  abort: path contains illegal component

for each file in the Mercurial repository.

The last patch seems perfect to me.
