how to ignore files in kiln/mercurial using tortoise hg “that are part of the repository”

Question

We use tortoise hg with Kiln. In my vs 2010 c# project there are some files that are part of the repository but I would like tortoise hg to ignore them when I make a commit.

Answer 1

The answer by Christian is the right one, but I want to mention that TortoiseHg supports what you want with their Auto Exclude List.

One problem with an exclude list is that it cannot work with merges: you must commit all files when you merge and so you'll have to do a little dance with shelve, merge, commit, and unshelve.
