Right. Indeed, the most sensible thing seems to have .hgignore as follows:
{{{
mtxoriginal
src/db
}}}
(and do not forget to "hg add .hgignore", so that "hg status" would not
report anything at all)
OK, so my complaint was about "hg status" reporting lots of "?"-marked
files, I didn't
look more carefully what exactly was there --- my guess was it's the
entire directory, as also .hgignore file wasn't
there at all.
Best,
Dima
