There are two changes:

1. Having the returned file names relative to the working dir instead of 
the repository root. For that, we change 'hg status' to 'hg status re:'.

2. Only including the files inside the working dir in the output. That 
happens by adding '-I .' to the arguments. Otherwise, Mercurial adds, in 
the presented scenario, an entry like '../sub2/x', which is extraneous.

You can search the manual for "hg status re:".

I agree it's a bit unclear (it also mentions "hg help patterns" for some 
reason), but here's an SO answer that got me this far:
