How to hgignore all subfolders but not the file in a folder?

I am looking to use nuget without committing the packages. I want to ignore in mercurial all packages subfolder that are located in the /packages/ folder, but I do not want to exclude the repositories.config file located in the /packages/ folder.

How should I write the exclusion regex to do that?

Solution

  • Can't you just do this:

    hg add packages/repositories.config

    And then have this in your .hgignore file

    syntax: glob

packages

    ?
