You may want not to commit certain files or folders to your Mercurial repository and not to show them as untracked. In this case, you can add these files and folders to the repository’s ignore list.

— or —

Right-click your project suite in the Project Explorer and then click Source Control | Commit.

— or —

Click Commit Changes to Repository on the Source Control toolbar (if the toolbar is hidden, right-click the toolbar area and then click Source Control).
In the Commit dialog, right-click the needed untracked file and then click Ignore (or Add to ignore list).

Setting Folders and Filename Patterns to Ignore

— or —

Right-click your project suite in the Project Explorer and then click Source Control | Edit Ignore Filter.

Click Launch the Ignore Filter Editor on the Source Control toolbar (if the toolbar is hidden, right-click the toolbar area and then click Source Control).
In the Edit Ignore File dialog, edit your repository’s ignore list and click Save.
