Kernel "make clean" kills repo

So, I did a cursory search of the mailing list and didn't find anything
about this, and Google didn't find anything, but I can't believe I'm the
first person to run into this:
[~/hg] $ hg clone linux-2.6 linux-make-test
[~/hg] $ cd linux-make-test/
[~/hg/linux-make-test] $ ls -l .hg/data/.hgtags.d
-rw-r--r-- 2 lutchann users 238 Jul 26 13:52 .hg/data/.hgtags.d
[~/hg/linux-make-test] $ make clean
[~/hg/linux-make-test] $ ls -l .hg/data/.hgtags.d
ls: .hg/data/.hgtags.d: No such file or directory
[~/hg/linux-make-test] $
The kernel clean target removes all files in the tree starting with . and
ending with .d, which trashes some files in the repo and makes Mercurial
fairly unhappy.
This doesn't just happen to me, right? Is there a workaround? Or do the
kernel makefiles need to be fixed? -Nathan
