Right.
> In Emacs 24/25 vc-dir-mode for Mercurial behaved exactly like Git. Since the behavior for Mercurial changed some time after Emacs 24, I just assumed (probably because of my bias towards `dvc`) that the new behavior was intended.
In 25 or 26 Daniel added a Lisp-based faster implementation for some
commands (de76a167dc09dc695a5acebabb7ab354a6bf556e) since apparently Hg
itself was too slow.
So this bug must have arrived with that implementation.
