Hi all.
There are two enhancements I would like to see, both connected with
the stuff it ignores on import and update:
1. cvs already ignores *.Z archives, so can it also be set to ignore
*.bz2 and *.gz archives as well.
2. Can CVS be 'trained' to differentiate between directories and
files for the various ignore entries? One obvious way to me would
be to say that if the entry in the list of files to ignore ends
with a / then that refers to a directory to be ignored, and any
entry not ending with this character refers to a file. This would
mean that to ignore something as both, it would need to be entered
twice, once in each format.
I will add that on looking at ignore.c I get the impression that
something along these lines has already been a\dded, but just
doesn't work.
Comments anybody?
Best wishes from Riley.
