Ugh, subrepos. The abort happens when hg is trying to update the
subrepo to a revision that doesn't exist. Looks like the gnulib-hg in
there is missing a revision, so when hg tries to update to a superrepo
revision that's referring to that subrepo revision, it aborts.

Go into the subrepo, pull from Savannah, and then go into the
superrepo and update again.

I really wish we could fix this subrepo mess once and for all. It's a
bit better than it was with the subrepo forever tied to some central
git location, but still not great.
