Intellij 11.0.1 seems to be ignoring my .hgignore file

Question

I have the following .hgignore file that should keep Intellij's constantly changing internal config files from polluting our source control.

syntax: glob
.idea/*
target/*
logs/*
out/*
myapp.iml
myapp-web.iml

Tortoise and the command line seem to respect the fact that files like ".idea/dataSources.xml" are not meant to be added to source control but intellij's hg4idea are constantly asking if I would like to add files like ".idea/dataSources.xml" to source control.

Is my .hgignore file just wrong or is there a bug in Intellij?

Answer 1

It's a known bug, please vote. As a workaround you can ignore files in Settings | Version Control | Ignored Files.

Answer 2

To add files to the IntelliJ ignore list go to:

• Settings
• Version Control
• Ignored Files
