Mercurial .hgignore for Visual Studio 2012 projects

Question

I currently use the answer to a similar question for Visual Studio 2010 as my go to hgignore file. Are there any notable additions to include with VS2012?

Below is a compiled list from many different sources. Gist here.

I have found that projects upgraded from VS2010 have a lot of backup and upgrade log files not required.

By pulling from this previous answer about Visual Studio 2010, from this response in this question, and this wonderful citation I compiled this listing:
