I strictly have not faced any problem with those rej and orig files being 
present in the .hgignore. I also thought keeping the .hgignore in the repo was 
for distribution and never knew that it can affect local views (If you remove 
.rej and .orig your local version, will it help?)

Yes, mercurial presents us with a list of files are that being added/committed, 
so we can be careful in not add those spurious leftovers. But at a time when 
you want to be fast with doing everything via cli options you are at a risk of 
adding unwanted files (unless protected by .hgignore file).

I see that .hgignore can ignore itself. So, once commited with itself to 
ignore, I believe people can have personal customization in there. This 
suggestion is with the understanding that repo/.hgignore is just to 
distribution and does not affect hg tracking behavior. Please correct me if I 
am wrong here.
