There are a couple of problems when doing it that way:
.gitignore uses glob syntax, while .hgignore uses regexps by default.
You can use the "syntax: glob" directive to tell hg what to do.
hoisting subdir-specific ignore directives all into a top-level
.hgignore file is risky. What if a generated (hence ignored) file
in a subdirectory is also the name of something that must not be
ignored at some other point in the tree?
The latter risk is why I made that rule generate one .gitignore
file alongside each .cvsignore file.
