Thanks for the hint. However "^pkg" is too liberal, because
it would also match any files in "/" whose name starts with
"pkg".
Instead, I prefer to use
^pkg$
^pkg/
or the more compact:
^pkg($|/)
I also think that we should do that for all sub directories:
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/mingw-cross-env/rev/2ebd5e54f8b7

I don't think this is a good idea. When a "tmp-*" directory
is hanging around, it should be noticed, because its existence
is just a temporary state, not a normal state. So in situations
where you usually perform an "hg status", these directories
shouldn't be there. In case they are, they should be noticed
quickly.
Greets,
Volker
