john.levon(a)sun.com wrote: There are a couple of problems when doing it that way: .gitignore uses glob syntax, while .hgignore uses regexps by default. You can use the "syntax: glob" directive to tell hg what to do. hoisting subdir-specific ignore directives all into a top-level .hgignore file is risky. What if a generated (hence ignored) file in a subdirectory is also the name of something that must not be ignored at some other point in the tree? The latter risk is why I made that rule generate one .gitignore file alongside each .cvsignore file.
