So did I until I did it, way back when.

In my case it was because I accidentally did a checkin as root which
created new files under .hg that belonged to root, and then a later commit
as a normal user couldn't write to those files but didn't notice.

I think that particular one was fixed (it notices now), but there might be
other ways to do something similar?
