ignore: resolve ignore files relative to repo root (
issue4473) (BC)
Previously these would be considered to be relative to the current working
directory. That behavior is both undocumented and doesn't really make sense.
There are two reasonable options for how to resolve relative paths:
- relative to the repo root
- relative to the config file
Resolving these files relative to the repo root matches existing behavior with
hooks. An earlier discussion about this is available at
http://mercurial.markmail.org/thread/tvu7yhzsiywgkjzl.
Thanks to Isaac Jurado <diptongo@gmail.com> for the initial patchset that
spurred the discussion.
