hg diff/status <dir> problem

[Andrei Vermel]

Check that the case of your paths is correct.
This involves both the path you type and the current work dir.
If you do 'cd repo\SuBdIr', then windows will think you are really in
SuBdIr, regardless of the actual case of the subdir on disk,
and will deceive hg. This was driving me nuts for a while, until I got
careful about it, and had no such problems since then.

Interestingly enough, on another windows box I got also with XP sp2 ,
the cmd console will always cd to the proper case of subdir.
No idea what is different, could be some registry setting.
