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).

Indeed, I think it's ok to keep them.

Regards

Antoine.
