Looking in http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hgignore.5.html it seems that specifying "syntax: glob" is also a possibility.
Yes, glob syntax might well be better, but either way the current .hgignore is not working as it should and could do with fixing.
Just noticed this thread while cleaning out old mail, and we should come to some kind of decision on this.
Heh, I was *just* about to bump this discussion by resubmitting my patch! Is there any reason not to push this? Unless people would prefer glob syntax?
My opinion is: Either syntax, as long as it's fixed...
Also my opinion.
OK, I plan to sit on this for a few more days and then push it if there have been no objections. Regards, Jeremy Henty
