After looking at the existing test case I'm confused.  The test case
(tests/test-hgignore) has this stuff commented out:

  # XXX: broken
  #echo "glob:**.o" > .hgignore
  #echo "--" ; hg status
  #
  #echo "glob:*.o" > .hgignore
  #echo "--" ; hg status

Which agrees with what I found, that it doesn't work.

But it also has:

  echo "relglob:*" > .hgignore
  echo "--" ; hg status

Which works until you apply the patch, then the first case will work and
the second one will break.  My confusion is as to whether or not the
second syntax is supported.  According to the comment in dirstate.py, it
is not supported.
