            Bug ID: 5848
           Summary: rootfilesin: doesn't appear to work in the ignore file
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: 4.6rc0
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: feature
          Priority: wish
         Component: Mercurial
          Assignee: bugzilla at mercurial-scm.org
          Reporter: matt_harbison at yahoo.com
                CC: mercurial-devel at mercurial-scm.org

We've got a repo where files in a directory should be ignored, but
subdirectories (and their files) shouldn't be.  Example:

IMA/ignore.txt
IMA/ignore2
IMA/subdir/show.bin

I tried:

    re:^IMA/[^/]+$

But show.bin is ignored because it ignores 'subdir'.  (debugignore prints out a
message to that effect.)  That got me to try 'rootfilesin:IMA', which has no
effect (neither file is ignored).  I also tried 'subinclude:IMA/.hgignore', and
putting 'rootfilesin:.' there, but that didn't ignore anything either.

(I have no idea why the repo directory is populated this way, other than bzr
allowed non recursive ignore.  Since rootfilesin doesn't seem to be doing
anything, maybe we can make it work without a BC.)
