convert: clear the dirstate before a conversion, invalidate it afterwards Clearing it before the conversion protects us from whatever data were there (file copies in particular). Invalidating it after the conversion avoids writing a possibly inconsistent dirstate to disk.

#!/bin/sh

mkdir t
cd t
hg init
echo "invalid" > .hg/hgrc
hg status 2>&1 |sed -e "s:/.*\(/t/.*\):...\1:"
