While it seems odd to have this simple a patch sit un-acked for this long, it looks like I'm not the only one uncomfortable ack-ing it without knowing why the entry was there. Old .hgignore history only tells me that at some point build* was changed to build-*. This recent mail from Andrew (https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2022-08/msg01043.html) matches my vague recollection of build-* being used as sub-trees for building stuff when out-of-tree builds are possible, yet people also don't want to build in an entirely separate tree. Hence as a compromise between keeping the status quo and deleting the entry, could we go with changing it to build-*/ ?
