subrepo: don't exclude files in .hgignore when adding to git

The previous test gave a false success because only an hg-ignored pattern was
specified.  Therefore match.files() was empty, and it fell back to the files
unknown to git.  The simplest fix is to always consider what is unknown to git,
as well as anything specified explicitly.  Files that are ignored by git can
only be introduced by an explicit mention in match.files().

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
