tests: demonstrate an inconsistency when cloning to a missing directory tree I noticed that `hg share` is unable to create more than one missing directory on the path, and thought it was inconsistent with clone. It turns out that the path for copying/linking the remote store has the same limitation, but cloning from a remote repo doesn't.
