thanks for the explanation, I did run hg update previously,
but it failed with the following message:

pulling subrepo gnulib
abort: repository [git]git://git.sv.gnu.org/gnulib not found!

then I went to octave/gnulib and did a "git pull" manually
and updated gnulib successfully. Is this sufficient?

hg status shows 108 files with "!" at the beginning,
not sure what that means. Is this related to the hg
version issue below? my hg is 1.4.3.
