localrepo: replace status method with a shim The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly Mercurial's keeper and the finder of robust methods. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy Mercurial's codebase. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
