unexpected hg status report

[Tim Bell]

There have been other reports of similar file permission problems when 
command line access via Cygwin is mixed with creating directories or 
doing other operations via the Windows GUI (explorer?).

I don't have a reference handy, but some searching should be able to 
uncover the email threads in archives of build-dev or 
build-infra-dev at openjdk.java.net

My solution is to eschew the Windows GUI and use the command line, just 
as you would on any other server.
