I can see these were added somewhat incidentally as part of another fix, but I also recall a discussion on slack about it. Why do you want to remove them from .hgignore? I remember our slack conversation said it was ok to remove them.

I was referring to a conversation a while ago to add them.

Yes, why? It is useful to have them there instead of having copy of .hgignore  on each machine I run. Stefan has an offlist discussion with me about this too.  Why do you have them in your .hgignore?  I want to purge them when I say hg purge, but I guess I can also type hg purge -all.    Is it for hg status to find actually new files that haven't been hg added yet? That seems useful to me also.

Yes I want hg status to ignore them so I don't have to type "hg status -mard". I have a least three "home" directories with a .hgignore that I have to copy across. :)

I was not familiar with "hg purge" but it seems to me that an extension that specifically deletes untracked file should not be honouring the .hgignore rules. Though I guess if it uses hg status to find those untracked files ...

Not sure what consideration weighs the most here. :)

FWIW I had these in my local .hgignore anyway so can always add them back there. David Tested in local repository. Thanks, Coleen
