[BUG] inconsistent output of hg parents

[Daniel Santa Cruz]

Sorry all, seems that I've answered my own question.  This was a
misunderstanding/misuse of what hg parents would do.  It returns the
parent of the working directory!  Duh!  hg parents REV does give the
correct output.  Seems that the bug tracking database was after all
smarter than me.
