I am not very fan of this, it could lead to potential infinite
recursion. It can also conflicts with files/directories named like
this.

If you wannt to make local hgignore it's possible by setting the local
.hg/hgrc file from the repository to include other .hgignore files
though:

    $ cat .hg/hgrc
    [ui]
    ignore.foo = .hg/ignore.foo
    ignore.bar = .hg/ignore.bar

Then, you can fill .hg/ignore.foo and .hg/ignore.bar with anything you
want.

HTH,
