Description kevredon 2009-02-01 15:10:22 UTC

it is not possible for mercurial to ignore a whole folder within the GUI
the ignore option "toggle ignore" exists for files
the current solution is to edit .hgignore manually, and add the folder

Log: Issue #157729 - hg ignore folder

Comment 4 ExTexan 2013-03-06 05:43:28 UTC

I'd like to see this issue re-opened.  I have a folder with *many* folders under it, most of which are "contributed" modules which I don't want under version control, but also some custom modules which I DO want to version.

From searches of Mercurial forums, the recommended way to accomplish this is to put the top-level folder in the .hgignore file, then ADD the folders/files that I wish to have under version control.  I have done that, but Netbeans doesn't reflect the added files.  ALL files in that ignored folder appear as unversioned in Netbeans.

Comment 5 Ondrej Vrabec 2013-03-06 06:33:45 UTC

For performance reasons ignored folders are not scanned automatically for versioned files. You should restart the IDE after you make this weird setup. Then all files/folders under the ignored folder will appear as ignored.
