            Bug ID: 6823
           Summary: behavior of 'locate' changed
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: feature
          Priority: wish
         Component: Mercurial
          Assignee: bugzilla at mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: jaraco at jaraco.com
                CC: mercurial-devel at mercurial-scm.org
    Python Version: ---

Consider these steps:

```
hg init foo
cd foo
mkdir bar
touch bar/baz
hg commit -Am baz
cd bar
hg locate -I .
```

On Mercurial 6.1.1, it emits:

```
bar/baz
```

On Mercurial 6.4, it emits:

```
baz
```

This leads to inconsistencies and [this
bug](https://github.com/jaraco/hgtools/issues/34).

I searched the changelogs for Mercurial 6.2, 6.3, and 6.4, but there's no
mention of 'locate'. Was this change in behavior intentional?
