File Purpose Should Lintian warn?
============================================================================
.htignore Parallel to .gitignore; regexes Yes, for the same reasons
of files hg ignores. we warn for .gitignore.
.hgtags Stores hashes of tagged commits Yes, as this data isn't
in a Mercurial repo. useful if we don't have
the repo.
.hg_archival.txt Created by `hg archive`; added No, seems to be common
to the created tarball so that and might be useful for
you can determine exactly which maintainers. Some build
commit corresponds to the scripts might use it to
tarball. include in --version
output, for example.
Hope this helps.
