intro:
Mercurial extension that allows to skip some files when committing,
something like "ignore on commit".

Use case:
Even though it would be better to commit a template on a vcs - that
every user or developer can then copy and customize, there are some
situations where that's not possible, mostly because some externally
managed software (e.g. a library, framework, or IDE) insists on using or
modifying certain well-known filenames.

If developers, then, inadvertently modify and commit such files, many
problem could arise.

This extension provides a simple way to prevent it; if a "wild commit"
(i.e. a commit without file selection) occurs, any file matching the
hgskipcommit pattern won't get committed, and will just stay modified on
the repo.

If you think it's useful just drop me an email or open a ticket.
