Hi Myk,

That is Komodo's hg background status checking, which fires off hg 
process(es) everytime the Komodo window is focused (or when the 15 min 
timeout fires).

Komodo is set to check the hg status for all opened files in Komodo 
(including visible project files in Komodo), but a hg process is only 
launched when there is a parent ".hg" directory for the file in 
question. The process is as you describe 'hg status -A -X "*/**" .'

The process shouldn't take too long to complete, though if you have a 
huge hg repository it could get slow (for me the first check of the base 
Mozilla directory takes around 15 seconds, with subsequent checks only a 
second or two).

Note: The '-X "*/**"' is a mercurial feature to filter out sub-directories.

Cheers,
Todd
