Empty output

The ignored directory contains following fils:

% find saved-dotfiles-old-expand
saved-dotfiles-old-expand
saved-dotfiles-old-expand/dotvim_dir
saved-dotfiles-old-expand/dotvim_dir/.vim
saved-dotfiles-old-expand/dotvim_dir/.vim/colors
saved-dotfiles-old-expand/dotvim_dir/.vim/plugin

What you suggest is that either 'dotvim_dir' or '.vim' is ignored.
But string 'vim' is not even in .hgignore.

I probably need to start bisecting the .hgignore ...
