and causes hg status to report:
! .hgignore

which is irritating.  Why doesn't hgsetup add:

[defaults]
status = -mard

to the user's $HOME/.hgrc file?  This would allow me a simple override
and I wouldn't have to deal with messing around with .hgignore.

And what about project repositories that don't have a .hgignore=* in
them?  Won't the developer be confused when hg status behaves
differently in their workspace after they've done a build?
