I've been using that setup for a few months now (and cursing myself
for not switching sooner), but I've still found myself annoyed by this
issue a time or two since the doc build chain change.  I personally
don't mind whether those entries are in .hgignore or not, but I don't
see the harm in them sticking around (at least until 3.3 is out of
maintenance; updating from 2.7 to default is a great source of
problems even aside from this issue).
