           Summary: hgignore backreferences don't work properly
          Severity: bug
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: ehaszla at transunion.com
          Hardware: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 2.6.3
         Component: Mercurial
           Product: Mercurial

Using backreferences in the .hgignore file only works properly on the first
line that uses one.  For instance, with this sequence of patterns in .hgignore:

foo/(.*)/\1$
bar/(.*)/\1$

Files like "foo/myfile/myfile" get ignored, but "bar/otherfile/otherfile" still
show up.

Using relative backreferences like \g{-1} or named backreferences like
"foo/(?<foo>.*)/\k{<foo>}$" doesn't work either.
