With git we can have per-directory .gitignore and .gitattributes. No per-directory .hgignore? Never? Quite useful in a big project where subproject live in subdirectories and are developed by separate teams.

We have an inclusion mechanism that allow the top level .hgignore to include some other in subdirectory.

Used in production with great success.
