title: mercurial .hgignore - won't ignore files
body: <p>I'm trying to ignore a file in my project with .hgignore, and just can't figure it out. The file is located in app/views/patterns/_changes.erb (relative to the root of the project, where .hgignore is), and nothing I try seem to work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#.hgignore
  syntax: glob
  app/views/patterns/_changes.erb
  *changes.erb
  public/files/* # this works
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I read the .hgignore doesn't distinguish between folders and files, but can't really make it happen. Any clue? thanks.</p>
