Including other .hgignore files via wildcards

[Ross Goldberg]

I'd like to other .hgignore files via wildcards, like using:

include:hgignore//**/*.hgignore

to include all files whose name ends with .hgignore in hgignore/ or any of
its descendent directories.

Is this possible?

It doesn't seem to be possible, but maybe I'm missing something.

Would the Mercurial devs be open to modifications to enable this?

I don't know Python, but it appears that the code that handles this is in
the match function from match.py.

Would I modify the existing include: handling, or would I make a new prefix?
