No, this does not seem to be the case:

$ hg status
$ hg status -S 
M namedb/master/biometrica.tomsk.ru
M namedb/master/rusnet.tomsk.ru
M namedb/master/tomsk.su
$ hg log namedb/master/rusnet.tomsk.ru
abort: path 'namedb/master/rusnet.tomsk.ru' is inside nested repo 'namedb'
$ 

Anyway, "hg commit" in the parent repo committed the .hgsubstate file,
and the problem seems gone for now. 

Is this normal? Am I expected to commit the .hgsubstate file?
