So that when people switch between repo software the set of ignored
files remains constant. While the "official" repo isn't going to
switch any time soon, various developers for various reasons prefer
different repo software and the tools for copying repos work well
enough that people actually do this, for various workflow purposes. As
long as patches eventually find their way back into the central Hg
repo I have no problem in it.

No, because then everybody who copies a repo to a different tool would
have to start over from scratch.

Please file a bug to get this reviewed and checked in.
