If these files are intentionally generated in isabelle/.../ and not
meant to be under version control, I am not sure I see the abuse in
adding them to .hgignore. On the other hand, if they are a mess and an
issue, perhaps that could be addressed.

Anyway, what do you do to keep the output of "hg status" uncluttered?
