Jun Wu d47e205e87 ignore: disable hgignore by default
Summary:
Disable parsing `.hgignore` and related fileset `hgignore()` by default. They can
still be enabled via configuration. The plan is to completely remove them
later.

A replacement for `hgignore()` fileset was added as `gitignore()`.

The `hgignore()` fileset seems to be only used by zertosh in the past 3 months.

Files
"""""
``/etc/mercurial/hgrc``, ``$HOME/.hgrc``, ``.hg/hgrc``
This file contains defaults and configuration. Values in
``.hg/hgrc`` override those in ``$HOME/.hgrc``, and these override
settings made in the global ``/etc/mercurial/hgrc`` configuration.
See |hgrc(5)|_ for details of the contents and format of these
files.
``.gitignore``
This file contains regular expressions (one per line) that
describe file names that should be ignored by **hg**. Check
the manual page provided by ``git`` for details.
``.hgtags``
This file contains changeset hash values and text tag names (one
of each separated by spaces) that correspond to tagged versions of
the repository contents. The file content is encoded using UTF-8.
``.hg/last-message.txt``
This file is used by :hg:`commit` to store a backup of the commit message
in case the commit fails.
``.hg/localtags``
This file can be used to define local tags which are not shared among
repositories. The file format is the same as for ``.hgtags``, but it is
encoded using the local system encoding.
Some commands (e.g. revert) produce backup files ending in ``.orig``,
if the ``.orig`` file already exists and is not tracked by Mercurial,
it will be overwritten.
Bugs
""""
Probably lots, please post them to the mailing list (see Resources_
below) when you find them.
