Because he's versioning his home directory, and .hgrc is just another
config file.  To the Mercurial tracking /home/me, .hgrc is no more
special than .zprofile or .gitconfig.  It's just content.  (OK, it's
*slightly* more special because it is .hgrc, but it has nothing to do
with the repo in /home/me specifically.)

Perhaps the "don't touch hg files" rule should use an explicit list
(.hgtags, .hg_archival.txt) rather than a wildcard?
