 vc-hg: emacs "deadlocks" after using hg with huge amounts of ignored
 files in the repo
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2016 10:10:36 +0100

Steps to reproduce:

1) hg clone https://bitbucket.org/vim-mirror/vim (or any other repo will
do, but I couldn't resist reproducing the issue on this one...)
2) Generate a million files, that will be considered "ignored" in the repo
   $ cd vim
   $ for i in $(seq 1 1000000); do echo ignored > ignored-$i.rej; done
3) Fire up emacs, C-x C-f <the vim repo directory>
   At this point, it will take a while, but that may be a separate issue.
4) Edit any tracked file and save it.
5) C-x v d ENTER
6) Go to a file that's been modified and hit 'v', enter a log message,
   then C-c C-c to commit the change.
7) Hit 'g' to refresh the buffer.
8) Observe the freeze.

Emacs freezes because it's running 'hg status -mardui -C <files>'. The
'-i' is the problem here. Since it takes hg itself a very long time, I'm
not sure if it can be directly fixed in Emacs. But at least a
configuration option that would allow one to disable the "-i" option
would be nice.
