Details

Relic currently supports reading (some; it never read Camino's .cvsignore files, for some reason) .cvsignore files for files and lists of filepatterns to ignore when performing various relic tasks. Since most Mozilla product code is in Hg these days, it would be useful if relic supported .hgignore files, too. .hgignore supports two separate syntaxes (both can be used in a single .hgignore file), but on the plus side, only one .hgignore file is allowed per repo.
I agree this is useful, although the multiple formats is really dumb. Fixing this requires someone who knows Python, which at the moment isn't me :-| Gerv
