Wow...I was helping Nick (the new tech guy) get his global ignore set up, and did a Google search for "mercurial global ignore". And this is the first site I found.

Pretty amazing.

Thanks for this list. I would also add [Tt]humbs.db

@mo: True, it can be dangerous, but in my experience this filter properly excludes items that shouldn't be committed in source code to begin with. For example, I don't want to commit .NET files that are built, by default in a "bin" folder. This list is meant to help other Windows developers using Microsoft-based IDE's.

Do you have a suggestion of an item to remove or problem with the current list?

Isn’t this quite dangerous, though? It applies to all repositories you try and commit to using tortoise, so someone else might have added files that are meant to be version controlled, but actually match a pattern you use, then you’ll never see it in your commit dialog.
