Your problems have been fixed in 0.9.4:

> # this works:
> athyra$ hg -R test-repo cat usr/src/tools/scripts/Makefile > /dev/null

Now this works:
hg cat -R test-repo test-repo/usr/src/tools/scripts/Makefile

Alternatively (should work in 0.9.3, too):
hg cat --cwd test-repo usr/src/tools/scripts/Makefile

> # but this doesn't:
> athyra$ cd no-sccs-tools
> athyra$ hg -R ../test-repo cat usr/src/tools/scripts/Makefile > /dev/null
> usr/src/tools/scripts/Makefile: No such file in rev 58d685dcc9d7

Now this works:
hg cat -R ../test-repo ../test-repo/usr/src/tools/scripts/Makefile

Alternatively (should work in 0.9.3, too):
hg cat --cwd ../test-repo usr/src/tools/scripts/Makefile

> # despite which, the exit status indicates success.
> athyra$ echo $?
> 0

Fixed, too:

summary:     cat: return an error on failure

(Returns 255 ... generally the return code handling should still be
improved)
