While it seems odd to have this simple a patch sit un-acked for this long,
it looks like I'm not the only one uncomfortable ack-ing it without knowing
why the entry was there. Old .hgignore history only tells me that at some
point build* was changed to build-*. This recent mail from Andrew
(https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2022-08/msg01043.html)
matches my vague recollection of build-* being used as sub-trees for
building stuff when out-of-tree builds are possible, yet people also don't
want to build in an entirely separate tree.

Hence as a compromise between keeping the status quo and deleting the
entry, could we go with changing it to build-*/ ?
