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
touch unknown

touch a
hg add a
hg ci -m "1" -d "1000000 0"

touch b
hg add b
hg ci -m "2" -d "1000000 0"

echo %% Should show unknown
hg status
hg revert -r 0
echo %% Should show unknown and b removed
hg status
echo %% Should show a and unknown
ls
