Check for parent/mod as well as parent.mod in findext. Debian/Ubuntu ship a system-wide hgrc that loads extensions using the syntax hgext/extension=, rather than hgext.extension=. Although the extensions work correctly, hg help <extension> doesn't understand this form without this patch.

#!/bin/sh

hg init rep
cd rep
mkdir dir
touch foo dir/bar
hg -v addremove
hg -v commit -m "add 1" -d "1000000 0"
cd dir/
touch ../foo_2 bar_2
hg -v addremove
hg -v commit -m "add 2" -d "1000000 0"
