It is rather ugly to build the docs in a 3.3 checkout, then update to default and run 'hg status' without those entries in .hgignore. I can understand not wanting to be bombarded by all of the untracked files, but it's also pretty easy to enable the purge extension and do "hg purge Doc/tools". This is why everyone should use the share extension and have separate working copies for every branch. :)

I've been using that setup for a few months now (and cursing myself for not switching sooner), but I've still found myself annoyed by this issue a time or two since the doc build chain change. I personally don't mind whether those entries are in .hgignore or not, but I don't see the harm in them sticking around (at least until 3.3 is out of maintenance; updating from 2.7 to default is a great source of problems even aside from this issue).
