Instinctively I would have assumed that they are relative to the
repo root, so something like this in ~/.hgrc would be possible:

  [ui]
  ignore = .hg/localignore

But reading this previous discussions I am no in favour of reading
it relative to the config file to match the behaviour of %include,
even if this differs from the behaviour of [paths].
