So I did some further digging with good ol println in Scala :)
When I’m in one of the "wrong" directories the build process spend most of its
time in the function Mercurial.check_files [1]. The problem seems to be that
the paths in hg.known_files() are relative to the current working directory. So
"hg.root + Path.explode(name)" returns an incorrect path. The filtering of
files in the next lines then doesn’t work and it reruns check() for every file.
The build process works in the directory "~/tmp/tmp" because the paths in
hg.known_files() start with "../../" and by luck "hg.root + Path.explode(name)"
returns a correct path.
The version of my mercurial installation is 4.6.1.
