Research direction
Start by examining the implementation of isWorking() in GitRepository.java from the fix for #3307. Then locate the corresponding classes for other repository types (e.g., MercurialRepository, SubversionRepository) in the same package. Implement isWorking() for each by following the same pattern, ensuring to check the underlying repository status. Consider any existing tests for GitRepository and replicate them for the new implementations. Review the comments in issue #3487 for any additional requirements or caveats.
