status seems to return the status of files in a subdir just fine.

hg add subdir seems to add all the files in the subdir, this is fine for
   what we want to do in VC.

hg rm subdir seems to remove all the files in the subdir, this is fine
for what we want to do in VC.

Do you have any other scenarios that might be questionable?  Precise
examples of commands/sequences of commands would be helpful.
