Note that Bazaar is currently discussing some similar policies. I think the name they have settled on is ".bzrrules". Maybe .hgrules is a better name.

So it would be .hgrules/? With the extension then defining the contents of the rule file?

An alternative would be to go one level deeper and have:

.hgrules/required/ .hgrules/optional/

If an extension rule file appeared in the first subdirectory then hg would refuse to operate on the repository without that extension being enabled.

I guess something like that might be nice to have, but the support for negative filtering and versioned rule definitions is all we really need from a python-dev point of view.

Cheers, Nick.
