what I mean is that plain: looks very similar to 'path:'. So I
think the patch could be done in 2 parts:
1) speed up path (putting them in a a dict and check for existence,
instead of compiling a regexp)
2) add a 'plain:' syntax to hgignore which will map to 'path:'.

I hope it clarifies, sorry if I misread the patch, I only overlooked it.

regards,

Benoit
