I wanted both versions (if possible). If the problems only happen with
alignment=0 then it's definitely an alignment problem, and we can tell
people to set alignment to 2 in order to use mercurial for the time
being.

If it's definitely an alignment problem, we can add that to the bug
upstream[0] and see what mercurial devs have to say about it.
