I have a config file which I often modify in order to do some testing. About 95% of the time I modify this file, I do not wish to commit to the repo. It's a nuisance to always be on the lookout during commits.
I discovered this supposedly nifty feature in TortoiseHg called "Auto Exclude List" which is supposed to take a comma-separated list of files that you want to default to unchecked (on commits, reverts, shelves). This sounded like a perfect, non-hackish way to make my life simpler.
The problem is that I cannot get it to do anything. I use the filename (with/without path), glob:filename, quotes, final comma, etc - all with no luck. I find little information about this feature online (nothing that the TortoiseHg UI doesn't tell me already).
FYI: TortoiseHg (version 1.1) with Mercurial-1.6, Python-2.6.4, PyGTK-2.16.0, GTK-2.16.6
Any suggestions, or success with this feature?
