I'm trying to convert a gitignore.io file to mercurial using syntax: glob at the top of the file and renamed it as .hgignore. The problem is that patterns starting with / like /vendor/ don't work.
Does Mercurial ignore file doesn't work with patterns starting with /?
I have searched in the documentation of mercurial but I can't find something specific about starting a glob with /, only about how to make rooted patterns with rootglob.
For now, I have removed manually all starting patterns with / as a workaround.
