currently the 'man hgignore' does not mention any valid syntax except the
"style: regexp" and "style:glob" followed by entries belonging to them.
Are you saying that in the already existing Mercurial version in the file
'.hgignore' you can prefix a single entry with 'path:' like in 'path:
<somepath>/mybinary' for a single entry despite of the 'style' definition
part this is be belonging to?

Guido
