I did not propose to change the internal Mercurial active list, only the active list viewed by Cadmium (and only for certain cdm subcommands). Say webrev is left intact. Then the worst error which could happen would be manual and real active list getting out of sync which would be detected by running 'hg outgoing', 'hg pbchk'.. and in the produced webrev. The goal of the proposed change is to speed up common code-still-in-flight tasks. Or is there something else I am missing ? v.
