Okay, up until the fstatat(), I get an identical trace, but what I see
there is ".hg".  The truss output suggests that it's doing this after an
os.listdir(), and dtrace confirms that:

    % dtrace -n syscall::fsat:entry'/pid == $target && arg0 == 2/{trace(copyinstr(arg2)); jstack(10)}' -c "hg update -C"
    dtrace: description 'syscall::fsat:entry' matched 1 probe
    10 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
    dtrace: pid 12823 has exited
    CPU     ID                    FUNCTION:NAME
      1   5333                       fsat:entry   .hg

So it looks like os.listdir() may be returning something funny.  After your
initial clone, what does

    python -c "import os; print os.listdir('<your path here>')"

tell you?  Is the first element an empty string?  That is, like you point
out, the curious bit.

Are you using the bundled copy of Python, or your own?  And what release of
Solaris are you running?
