Mercurial, Forget files forever

Question

Is it possible in mercurial to ignore changes within an entire directory.

For example I would like mercurial to not tell me that changes to the "class" directory have occurred since I don't want to version control the *.class files for my project.

Answer 1

You'll want to set up a rule in your .hgignore file.

There's a pretty good explanation here: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/.hgignore
