Personally, I already knew this for a long time [1], but doesn't doing this
trigger that huge email to the commits list with all the changesets?


[1] the reason was that when I complained that it was bad that mercurial
incompatibly changed repository file storage format in a micro version
upgrade, I was told I should have been doing the hg clone . remote-url trick
instead of manually copying the files, to avoid the problem.
