Mercurial (Hg) ignores *.dlls on purpose?!

Build & Deployment Build Pipeline

Hi,

I’m using Mercurial with TortoiseHg as my VCS. I’m using Windows.
Recently, I’ve found that *.dll files are somehow ignored automatically because when I’ve commited ALL changes files on 1 machine, on second machine there were missing libraries!!! Like SharpCompress, LitJSON…

How to change this and force Mercurial to track DLL files?

Here is my .hgignore file - nothing related to dlls here!!! Also I’ve checked in other repos, even without any hgignore same thing happens.

Thanks for any input.

OK, problem solved!

Turns out Sourcetree somehow added a global hgignore:

at C:\Users.…\Documents\hgignore_global.txt

I don’t know how this work because my C:\Users.…\mercurial.ini does not contain any reference to that file generated by SourceTree!!!

Weird…

I know this is old but thanks for figuring this out! I just switched from github to bitbucket and had this same issue.
