.hgignore files inside folder but not the folder

How can I ignore the files inside the folder but keeping the folder in mercurial?

I tried in this way but also folder is ignored.

syntax: glob

photos/*.jpg
photos/*.gif
photos/thumbs/*.jpg
photos/thumbs/*.gif

Thanks

Create an empty file named .keep in the folder and add it to your repository.

touch photos/.keep
hg add photos/.keep

This way the folder will be still tracked, even if its contents and the folder itself are in .hgignore.
