SOLVED: Re: problem with .hgignore patterns

[Ernie Rael]

The repo that had the pattern hasn't been used for a few years and was 
moved from a Windows box to linux and a global ignore file is not the 
same as it was; so can't be sure why I thought this regexp pattern worked.

   WRONG: (^|/)dist$
CORRECT: (^|/)dist/
