subrepo: replace "os.path.exists" by "exists" via wvfs of the parent Existance of specified "path" should be examined by "exists" via wvfs of the parent repository, because the working directory of the parent repository may be in UTF-8 mode. Wide API should be used via wvfs in such case. In this patch, "/" is used as the path separator, even though "path" uses platform specific path separator (e.g. "\\" on Windows). But it is reasonable enough, because "store" and other management file handling already include such implementation, and they work well.

subrepo: avoid redundant "util.makedirs" invocation "util.makedirs" for the (sub-)repository root of "hgsubrepo" is also executed in the constructor of "localrepository", if "create" is True and ".hg" of it doesn't exist. This patch avoids redundant "util.makedirs" invocation in the constructor of "hgsubrepo".

merge: remove confusing comment about --force manifestmerge() has a piece of code that's roughly: if not force and different: abort else: # if different: old untracked f may be overwritten and lost ... The comment only talks about what happens when 'different' is true, and in combination with the if-block above, that must mean that it is only about what happens when 'force and different'. It seems quite fine that files are overwritten when 'force' is true, so let's remove the comment. As it stands, it can easily be interpreted as a TODO (which is how I interpreted it at first).
