That makes sense from a sparse repository sense, but xref uses FLGs for
something else.  Specifically, it uses the FLGs to deduce what other files
are related to the things in the directory the cross-reference is being
built.  This is just a convenience feature -- if it can't be supported
with hg, it's not a big deal.
