Problem with aliases in hg 1.3

[Ted Pavlic]

All of what follows used to work fine, and so I suspect a regression in 
hg 1.3. I'm running hg bbc78cb1bf15 from the hg repo.

Short story: When issuing fetch/pull commands from aliases, I get 
"unknown exception encountered" errors. When issuing the same commands 
directly, they work fine.


In my repo's .hg/hgrc file, I have:


[paths]
template = ../osu_ece_course_template/

[alias]
pulltemp = pull template
fetchtemp = fetch --switch-parent template -m "Automated merge from 
course template"


If I issue "hg pulltemp" or "hg fetchtemp", I get errors. In the latter 
case (hg fetchtemp), I get this traceback:



** unknown exception encountered, details follow
** report bug details to http://mercurial.selenic.com/bts/
** or mercurial at selenic.com

graphlog, hgk, mq, convert, color, pager, rebase, record, crecord
