Add a .hgignore so that we can also have ignored files

  $ echo ".*\.o" > .hgignore
  $ hg status
  ? .hgignore
  ? a
  ? b
  $ hg status -i
  I x/aa.o
  I x/bb.o

Tersing ignored files
  $ hg status -t i --ignored
  I x/

Adding more files
  $ mkdir y
  $ touch x/aa x/bb y/l y/m y/l.o y/m.o
  $ touch x/l/aa x/m/aa x/n/aa x/l/u/bb x/l/u/a/bb

  $ hg status
  ? .hgignore
  ? a
  ? b
  ? x/aa
  ? x/bb
  ? x/l/aa
  ? x/l/u/a/bb

  ? x/n/aa
  ? y/l

  $ hg status --terse u

Run from subdirectory
  $ hg status --terse u --cwd x/l

  $ relstatus() {

This should probably have {"l/", "m/", "n/"} instead of {"."}. They should
probably come after "../y/".
  $ relstatus --cwd x
  ? ../.hgignore
  ? ../a
  ? ../b
  ? .
  ? ../y/
This should probably have {"u/", "../m/", "../n/"} instead of {"../"}.
  $ relstatus --cwd x/l
  ? ../../.hgignore
  ? ../../a
  ? ../../b
  ? ../
  ? ../../y/
This should probably have {"a/", "bb", "../aa", "../../m/", "../../n/"}
instead of {"../../"}.
  $ relstatus --cwd x/l/u
  ? ../../../.hgignore
  ? ../../../a
  ? ../../../b
  ? ../../
  ? ../../../y/
This should probably have {"bb", "../bb", "../../aa", "../../../m/",

Including ignored files

  $ hg status --terse aui

  A x/aa
  A x/bb

  $ hg status --terse au -i

Committing some of the files

  $ hg commit x/aa x/bb .hgignore -m "First commit"
  $ hg status
  ? a
  ? b
  ? x/l/aa
  ? x/l/u/a/bb
  ? x/l/u/bb

  $ hg status --terse mardu

Modifying already committed files

  $ echo "Hello" >> x/aa
  $ echo "World" >> x/bb
  $ hg status --terse maurdc
  M x/aa
  M x/bb
  ? a
  ? b
  ? x/l/
  ? x/m/
  ? x/n/

Respecting other flags

  $ hg status --terse marduic --all
  M x/aa
  M x/bb
  ? a
  ? b
  ? x/l/
  ? x/m/
  ? x/n/
  ? y/l
  ? y/m
  I x/aa.o
  I x/bb.o
  I y/l.o
  I y/m.o
  C .hgignore
  $ hg status --terse marduic -a
  $ hg status --terse marduic -c
  C .hgignore
  $ hg status --terse marduic -m
  M x/aa
  M x/bb

Passing 'i' in terse value will consider the ignored files while tersing

  $ hg status --terse marduic -u
  ? a
  ? b
  ? x/l/
  ? x/m/
  ? x/n/
  ? y/l
  ? y/m

Omitting 'i' in terse value does not consider ignored files while tersing

  $ hg status --terse marduc -u
  ? a
  ? b
  ? x/l/
  ? x/m/
  ? x/n/
  ? y/

Trying with --rev

  $ hg status --terse marduic --rev 0 --rev 1
  abort: cannot use --terse with --rev
  [255]

Config item to set the default terseness
  $ cat <<EOF >> $HGRCPATH
  > [commands]
  > status.terse = u
  > EOF
  $ hg status -mu
  M x/aa
  M x/bb
  ? a
  ? b
  ? x/l/
  ? x/m/
  ? x/n/
  ? y/

Command line flag overrides the default
  $ hg status --terse=
  M x/aa
  M x/bb
  ? a
  ? b
  ? x/l/aa
  ? x/l/u/a/bb
  ? x/l/u/bb
  ? x/m/aa
  ? x/n/aa
  ? y/l
  ? y/m
  $ hg status --terse=mardu
  M x/aa
  M x/bb
  ? a
  ? b
  ? x/l/
  ? x/m/
  ? x/n/
  ? y/

Specifying --rev should still work, with the terseness disabled.
  $ hg status --rev 0
  M x/aa
  M x/bb
  ? a
  ? b
  ? x/l/aa
  ? x/l/u/a/bb
  ? x/l/u/bb
  ? x/m/aa
  ? x/n/aa
  ? y/l
  ? y/m
