largefiles: don't prefix standin patterns with '.hglf' when logging

When logging '.hglf/foo', the pattern list was being transformed from
['.hglf/foo'] into ['.hglf/foo', '.hglf/.hglf/foo'].  Aside from the
pathological case of somebody getting a directory named '.hglf' created inside
the standing directory, the old code shouldn't have had any bad effects.

(amended by mpm to sort patterns for test stability and not upset check-code)

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.
