Title Body

I have a project under version control, say, in /project , and .hgignore located at /project/.hgignore . Its syntax seems correct, but the problem is this file is completely ignored for certain users while still parsed for the others. Say, running su -l dipsy -c 'cd /project; hg status' shows correct results with proper files ignored, while su -l laalaa -c 'cd /project; hg status' also outputs files listed in /project/.hgignore . What I checked already: ~/.hgrc files are identical for both users, so are outputs for hg showconfig . Both users can read /project/.hgignore and write to that. What am I missing? (Just in case: Debian Lenny, Mercurial 1.6.3) // Sorry if usernames seem stupid, they are not real (: -- added 2010-11-26 -- PS. Is there any way to launch hg and get the debug output on processing .hgignore -s? hg --debug status and hg status --debug do not print anything sensible. -- added 2010-11026 -- Debugging hg status (results vary): # su -l dipsy -c 'cd /project; strace hg status 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep hgignore' open("/project/.hgignore", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4 fstatat64(4, ".hgignore", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0664, st_size=214, ...}, AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW) = 0 write(1, "M .hgignore\nM foo/bar/baz"..., 4096) = 4096 # su -l laalaa -c 'cd /project; strace hg status 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep hgignore' write(1, "M .hgignore\nM foo/bar/baz"..., 4096) = 4096 Debugging hg status --ignore (results are the same): # su -l dipsy -c 'cd /project; strace hg status --ignore 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep hgignore' open("/project/.hgignore", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 fstatat64(3, ".hgignore
