If I'm in ~/dokuwiki and do 'hg pull -f plugins/blog' then all blog's
files end up in ~/dokuwiki which isn't what I want.  I want the files
to be in the same sub-directory relative to ~/dokuwiki.  Do I have to
do an 'hg move <all the files>' as well?

I maybe didn't explain my requirement very well, I want exactly the
directory structure I have now but with a single mercurial repository
based in ~/dokuwiki.
