[issue416] -X -I dont override .hgignore rules

[Sascha Wilde]

New submission from Sascha Wilde <wilde at intevation.de>:

Following the rule that command line options take precedence over configuration
files, a user (at least me) would expect the -I (--include) and -X (--exclude)
options to override rules from the .hgignore file.

But they don't.

Example:
% hg init
% mkdir narf
% touch narf/poit narf/zort
% echo . >.hgignore
% hg add -I . narf

Does nothing.  I would expect "-I ." to override the ignore all rule from
.hgignore and thereby allow me to add the directory narf recursively.
