hg subrepos

hg subrepos:

push - by default pushes subrepos

pull - does not recurse by default

nor does hg status


This is almost exactly the wrong thing: the dangerous thing, that can write master repos, is the default. But the thing that does not modify anything are not default enabled for subrepos.


The docs warn: hg subrepos are a feature of last resort.
