Problem: on large repos, it would be useful to be able to do a partial clone and/or checkout

Proposal: add a new file like .hgignore to the .hg/ directory that specifies which files should be ignored for clone/checkout.

To implement:

  • pick a sensible name for this file (BryanOSullivan suggests ignoremissing)
  • teach localrepo to use this filtering where appropriate (checkout, pull)
  • teach changegroup to choke if someone attempts to pull a changeset from us with a file we don't have

Not to be confused with TrimmingHistory, which trims in the history tree, not the directory tree.
