      build products are output files produced by software tools such
      as compilers.  As another example, many text editors litter a
      directory with lock files, temporary working files, and backup
      files, which it also makes no sense to manage.</para>

    <para>To have Mercurial permanently ignore such files, create a
      file named <filename>.hgignore</filename> in the root of your
      repository.  You <emphasis>should</emphasis> <command>hg
      add</command> this file so that it gets tracked with the rest of
      your repository contents, since your collaborators will probably
      find it useful too.</para>

    <para>By default, the <filename>.hgignore</filename> file should
      contain a list of regular expressions, one per line.  Empty
      lines are skipped. Most people prefer to describe the files they
      want to ignore using the <quote>glob</quote> syntax that we
      described above, so a typical <filename>.hgignore</filename>
      file will start with this directive:</para>

    <programlisting>syntax: glob</programlisting>

    <para>This tells Mercurial to interpret the lines that follow as
      glob patterns, not regular expressions.</para>

    <para>Here is a typical-looking <filename>.hgignore</filename>
      file.</para>

    <programlisting>syntax: glob
# This line is a comment, and will be skipped.
# Empty lines are skipped too.
