I have a file with database settings in my project which I have set to some defaults. The file is tracked by Mercurial and checked in. Since this file will be edited with different values various developer machines, is there a way I can tell Mercurial to ignore new changes to this file?

I tried adding the file to the `.hgignore` file, but since the file is tracked it isn&#39;t ignored. This is alright and good in other situations, but I am wondering if there is something I can do here?

Mercurial: How to ignore changes to a tracked file

What is a good setup for .hgignore file when working with Visual Studio 2008?

I mostly develop on my own, only occasionly I clone the repository for somebody else to work on it.

I&#39;m thinking about obj folders, .suo, .sln, .user files etc.. Can they just be included or are there file I shouldn&#39;t include?

Thanks!

p.s.: at the moment I do the following : ignore all .pdb files and all obj folders.

    # regexp syntax.
    syntax: glob
    *.pdb

    syntax: regexp
    /obj/

How can I ignore everything under a folder in Mercurial

Not to be confused with [Mercurial .hgignore for Visual Studio 2008 projects][1]

I was asking whether if that same file can be reused for Visual Studio 2010, or some other extensions, etc should be added to it, &amp; why?

Mercurial .hgignore for Visual Studio 2010 projects

Is there a command in mercurial that will list all files currently under source control?  

I can do a `dir /s` to list all files in my folder and subfolders, but I have no idea which have been added to my repository.  I have a variety of excluded file types and folders and I want verify that none of them were added before I set them up in my .hgignore file.

How to list all files in a repository in Mercurial (hg)?

I&#39;m trying to get Mercurial to ignore a configuration file, but I&#39;m failing to get it working.

I have created a repository on my server with `hg init` and cloned that repository to my computer.  I then want to be able to edit the configurationj file but not commit those changes back to the server.

I have tried creating a `.hgignore` in the root of my clone, but Mercurial flags the file with a `?` and whether I commit it or not it still continues to log my configuration changes.

Am I creating the `.hgignore` file in the wrong place, does this file need to be commited? Does it need to be created before I init the repository on the server?


Mercurial ignore file

I know about `.hgignore` and how I can ignore files on a project-by-project basis. I want to ignore stuff for all Mercurial repositories.

Is there something I can stick in `.hgrc`? Or put a `.hgignore` in my `$HOME` path (I tried that already but maybe I did something wrong).
