Implementation of per-user .hgignore. Reference: http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/bts/issue166 If the [ui] section of .hgrc contains keys like "ignore" or "ignore.something", the values corresponding to these keys are treated as per-user hgignore files. These hgignore files apply to all repositories used by that user.

#!/bin/sh
hg init 1
echo '[ui]' >> 1/.hg/hgrc
echo 'timeout = 10' >> 1/.hg/hgrc
echo foo > 1/foo
hg --cwd 1 ci -A -m foo
hg clone 1 2
hg clone 2 3
echo '[hooks]' >> 2/.hg/hgrc
echo 'changegroup.push = hg push -qf ../1' >> 2/.hg/hgrc
echo bar >> 3/foo
hg --cwd 3 ci -m bar
hg --cwd 3 push ../2
