Hi Carrie,

.hgignore should not affect files that you have explicitly tracked (e.g. with `hg add job_conf.xml`) - if the file is tracked, Mercurial will attempt to update and patch the working copy if there are upstream changes. Also, it looks like your current tip includes neither .hgignore or job_conf.xml:

Your tip is also on the stable branch - do you mean to be working in two branches?

Hi Galaxy devs,

I had an issue recently where I must have messed up my .hgignore file or done something terrible to my repository.
I created a bitbucket and pushed my instance to it. I then pulled that onto my laptop and hooked it all up with Eclipse. After I was happy with my code, I pushed to bb and tried to pull to my instance, but the job_conf.xml file was overwritten. I had all of my tools set up there for the instance; on my laptop I had removed all that because it didn't apply. Would it have messed up if I deleted the file on my laptop and replaced it with a copy of job_conf.xml.simple? I took the .simple out of course and altered it to just what I needed.

This is cross-posted with Stack Overflow:

Here is my repo:
https://bitbucket.org/cganote/iu-ncgas-galaxy

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
