.hgignore is not replaced by .gitignore #282

The ignore file should be automatically renamed from .hgigore to .gitignore.

The syntax used by .hgignore is not same as for .gitignore. As Mercurial allows both globs and regular expressions while Git uses a glob like language, converting between the languages is not trivial. Feel free to create a pull-request for a plugin which uses the file_data_filter if this problem interests you.
