24 The working directory of a Mercurial repository will often contain | |
25 files that should not be tracked by Mercurial. These include backup | |
26 files created by editors and build products created by compilers. | |
27 These files can be ignored by listing them in a `.hgignore` file in | |
28 the root of the working directory. The `.hgignore` file must be | |
29 created manually. It is typically put under version control, so that | |
30 the settings will propagate to other repositories with push and pull. | |
