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

mkdir t
cd t
hg init
echo a > a
hg add a
hg commit -m test -d "1000000 0"
hg history
hg manifest
hg cat a
hg verify
