[issue3312] largefiles: "hg sum" after cloning a repo with largefiles doesn't work

[Christoph Jüngling]

New submission from Christoph Jüngling <christoph at juengling-edv.de>:

Steps tp reproduce:

1. Ensure largefiles extension is not activated on global settings
2. Create a new repo
3. Activate largefiles extension for this new repo
4. Add at least one file as a "largefile" and commit
5. Clone this repo
6. Perform "hg sum" or open TortoiseHg workbench in the cloned repo.

Error message:

abort: unknown repository format: requires features 'largefiles' (upgrade
Mercurial)!

Workaround:

Activate largefiles extension for Mercurial on user basis.

Additional problem: In this case, TortoiseHg refuses editing of the
repository settings, too. Hence this can only be fixed by editing the
.hg/hgrc file, knowing the correct syntax.

Found with Mercurial 2.1 and TortoiseHg 2.3
