Since you've not yet said anything about checking that, that's what I'm checking first (it's also good to point out what you've investigated and so what your real question is). How do you know that webrev "worked" completely and successfully? Yes, it's in your child workspace, and hg-active lists it as the only file changed, and it's also in the parent, thus, the answer to "why do you say that webrev works" is "the only file I've changed is in the webrev" (another thing that's good when you ask for help is to state what you know and what you've checked, so that your helpers don't have to retrace every step you've just taken, but without your immediate knowledge of the problem). So the question is "why is webrev saying "Error: file not in parent or child" when the file *is* in both parent *and* child. For that, I think I would probably be running webrev with debug turned on, because indeed, that doesn't make sense to me either. hg manifest in your repo shows that hg knows about that file. hg status shows no uncommitted changes.
