The idea can be to keep unrelated ignores separately. For instance
emacs.hgignore could filter all
those *~, .#* etc files, winbuild.hgignore could filter .obj and .exe,
etc. The same concept which one can
see (for instance) heavily used in debian /etc.
Hmm, not truly related idea, but maybe mercurial could even distribute
some such ready to use files.
Then, instead of having everybody re-invent correct regexps, one could say
include /etc/mercurial/emacs.hgignore
in localignore and be happy....
