For what reason? Are the git or bzr files causing issues on HG? No, but wrong .gitignore causes issues with git repo obtained via hg-fast-import. If it is meant as an intentional sabotage of using git (and bzr) for cpython, then that's the only explanation I can understand, otherwise it doesn't make sense to me why these files are in HG repository at all.

Hanlon's Razor, paraphrased: "Never attribute to malice that which can be adqeuately explained by [bitrot]."

Actually, the Goethe quote from [1] is even more apropos: "[M]isunderstandings and neglect create more confusion in this world than trickery and malice. At any rate, the last two are certainly much less frequent."
