Mercurial [HG] - 获取.hgignore排除文件的列表

Question

I use this .hgignore file liberally in my projects, it has proven worthy so far.

However, every once in a while I'd like to do a reality check, to make sure it didn't eat up something valuable.

My question is: how can I find out the exact list of excluded files? (The files that actually match the .hgignore patterns)

Answers using TortoiseHg or command-line are welcome.

Answer 1

命令hg status --ignored （或hg status -i ）列出已被忽略的文件。

Answer 2

The answer hit me while I was finishing the question (yet again).

It's trivial, actually:

• Start by making sure there are no pending commits.

• (Re)move/rename the .hgignore file

• Hit 'Refresh' in TortoiseHg's commit window.

You'll now get the exact list of ignored files (+ the change to the .hgignore file itself).

Rubber ducking at its best. (Hmm, SO should add a badge for this :)
