copied!<p>Many thanks for everyone's help on this. I haven't found an answer to the problem but I did find a workaround that got rid of it. So I'm assuming that at some point when modifying the hgignore regexps mercurial got confused and corrupted it's internal data... or something. I don't know enough internals to know what this could have been.</p> <p>Anyway, should you find yourself in the same boat, here's what I did:</p> <ol> <li>Make sure your .hgignore file says what you want it to and that all the files turning up in the hg status are the ones you want to ignore. </li> <li>Add all the files to be ignored. hg addremove doesn't work because it does honour the hgignore contents, so I used Eclipse's hg plugin and did each file manually (well, I selected them all and Eclipse applied the add to them all individually).</li> <li><p>Revert all added files. I used the following because I'm on linux. (thanks to another poster on a separate question here on SO - which I can now no longer find unfortunately)</p> <p>hg status -an0 | xargs -0 hg revert</p></li> <li><p>repeat the above step until it no longer works. In my case this was sometimes up to as many as 3 reverts in a row! (No idea what it was actually doing though :( )</p></li> <li>commit</li> </ol> <p>You should now no longer see the ignored files in the hg status output.</p> <p>I'm sorry, I have no idea why this worked, or what the original problem was. If anyone does, I'd be very interested to know your thoughts.</p> <p>Many thanks again to everyone :)</p>
