[ BUILD # : 201109110600 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.7 ]

Often when setting up new repositories I have to add items to the .hgignore
file, in which case i need to leave the IDE and open the file in notepad/gedit.

Could hgignore be shown as a normal file in the file window of netbeans, or
alternatively on the mercurial context menu
<project Name> -> Mercurial -> edit hgignore

Sure it can be displayed, just edit the global ignored files pattern in Tools > Options > Misc > Files (Ignored Files Pattern:) in the way that the pattern does not match the file.
BTW, if you edit the file while the IDE is running, Mercurial plugin won't recognize the change and will continue showing newly ignored files still unignored and vice versa.
