It is fairly easy:
( cd $(hg root); hg status )
will do what you expect w/o leaving your current dir..
I'm probably used to go to a specific dir and expect the SCM to limit
itself to the sub-tree I've choosen, like cvs/svn.
I'd even say that being able to checkout and work on a sub-tree without too
many hassles is something that makes cvs/svn easy for people.
I'd even dare to say that hg commit should also limit itself to the current
sub-tree but that may be too much :-) And commit is a bit special and I
can live with its "global"-ness.
YMMV as usual.
