What's the simplest .hgignore syntax to ignore a directory and all its contents?

[Craig Ozancin]

It is really simple. If you have a single directory that you know the path
to, add something line this to your .hgignore before any globbing / regex
statements:

work/tracefiles/

If it is in an subdirectory somewhere and is a unique name, you can do
something like this:''

syntax: glob

**/pub-src/**
