Add dirstate.pathto and localrepo.pathto. Every time util.pathto is called, we have to pass the repo root and the repo cwd. dirstate.pathto is a simple convenience function that knows about the root and the cwd arguments. It's still possible to pass the cwd as an optimization. localrepo.pathto is a convenience function that just calls dirstate.pathto, just like localrepo.getcwd. dirstate.pathto becomes a single point that converts most (all?) paths from the internal representation to some OS-specific relative path for display purposes.

#!/bin/sh

hg init

mkdir alpha
touch alpha/one
mkdir beta
touch beta/two

hg add alpha/one beta/two
hg ci -m "start" -d "1000000 0"

echo 1 > alpha/one
echo 2 > beta/two

echo EVERYTHING
hg diff --nodates

echo BETA ONLY
hg diff --nodates beta

echo INSIDE BETA
cd beta
hg diff --nodates .
