Patch for the port of .hgignore to .gitignore is attached

AFAIK hg supports symlinks.

Why not just symlink .gitignore to .hgignore and keep .hgignore up to date?

But in this case "$" and "^" need to be avoided, e.g. this doesn't work for git:
Makefile$
Makefile.pre$

Right ... .gitignore doesn't support regexeps (they are not needed IMHO here, but that's another point).

Symlinks don't work well on Windows.  I think a comment in .hgignore asking to update the other two ignores as well is the best solution.

Against which branch or Python version your patch is? It doesn't apply cleanly on any branch (and yes, I changed the target filename to .gitignore first).

It used to be master, but probably some time ago.

I’m afraid “master” has no meaning with a Mercurial repo.  Anyway we can still use your patch to update .gitignore, thanks!

Fixed in default and 3.2 branches, which are quite similar. Thanks for the patch!

Closing now. Feel free to reopen if you want to provide a patch for the 2.7 branch, too.
