directory mysteriously ignored

[Alexis S. L. Carvalho]

Thus spake Yakov Lerner:
> I added bunch of files (8,000) files to the freshly initialized repo.
> After the clone, I found that one directory was ignored.
> Directory name was  'saved-dotfiles-old-expand'.

You do know that hg doesn't track directories, right?  So I'm assuming
that "directory <foo> was ignored" means "files inside directory <foo>
were ignored".

I can't reproduce this (nor can I reproduce your problem with
.tmp_versions).  Have you defined some global hgignore file?  I.e. does
this command give you any output:

hg showconfig ui | grep ignore

Otherwise I'm not sure what this could be...  Is your python instalation
OK?  The three problems that you reported were regex-related, so maybe
there was some problem in the re (or _sre) module...
