tortoisehg ignore file is not ignoring *.pyc and *.db files

I have this ignore file: 

syntax: glob
*.pyc
*.db
mysite/app/migrations/**

it is ignoring all migration files but not pyc and db files. why is this?

Solution

  • The usual answer is that you have already run hg add on the .pyc and .db files. Try running

    $ hg locate "set:hgignore() and not ignored()"

    to see tracked files which match your .hgignore patterns. Use

    $ hg forget "set:hgignore() and not ignored()"

    to make Mercurial forget them.
