Maybe it's a Windows related problem, as I can easily reproduce with
0.9.4 on windows. I thought it was normal behavior on all platforms
though (matches aren't rooted). Am I mistaken? Yakov, did I
misunderstand your problem?

$ hg init
$ touch .tmp_versions
$ touch tmp_versions
$ hg status -A
? .tmp_versions
? tmp_versions
$ echo tmp_versions >.hgignore
$ hg status -A
? .hgignore
I .tmp_versions
I tmp_versions
