As a mercurial user, I thank you for this effort! One question, where/how do I send suggestion to what to add into .hgignore file? In particular, I found these dynamically generated files after a build in Windows (3.2) that probably should be entered as .hgignore entries:
? PC/python_nt_d.h ? PC/pythonnt_rc_d.h
I, on the other hand, would like to see .rej and .orig removed from the ignore list. I don't like having these polluting my working directory, and 'hg status' is the easiest way to find them (if they aren't ignored).
Or if there's some way to configure my personal .hgrc to ignore those particular ignore lines, that would be fine too :)
If those were to be removed from .hgignore then there would be a high likelihood of someone doing "hg addremove" and inadvertently tracking them. The purpose of .hgignore is to prevent inadventently tracking files that shouldn't be tracked. "hg status -i" will list all ignored files that are present in your working directory. For other options, "hg help status". Tim Delaney
