I'd like to make it so that every time I create a new repository, certain filters automatically get added to my .hgignore files by default.
For example, for C# projects, I would like these to be added:
glob:bin/*
glob:obj/*
Is this possible? How?
If it can't be automated, is it at least safe to copy the .hgignore file from one repository to another?
I use ~/.hgignore and just cp that into my repo.
In my ~/.hgrc:
[ui]
ignore.other = ~/.hgignore
I just put the really obvious stuff in that one. And copy it for project specific stuff.
I don't think its quite what you're asking for as there is no automation, but it does the trick.
Windows users, see Ry4an's comment below.
Just to clarify, it is safe to copy a .hgignore from one repos to another, it is just a plain old simple text file.
You could use a post-init hook to do it for you:
[hooks]
post-init.ignore-bin = echo 'glob:bin/*' >> .hgignore
post-init.ignore-obj = echo 'glob:obj/*' >> .hgignore
This form only works with the mkdir sample && cd sample && hg init style of creating a repo If you use the faster hg init sample form it will dump the new .hgignore file into the current directory.
You could write a more intelligent hook script if you prefer using hg init name.
hg add .hgignore ?
Perhaps you could clone from a repo that only had that file checked in. :)
Otherwise you'd have to write a small extension that did this in hg init somehow
