Follow-up Comment #1, bug #19374 (project findutils):

I second this ticket. Trying to prune directories based on regular
expressions doesn't work. For example:

updatedb --findoptions='-mount' --localpaths='/cygdrive/c'
--prunepaths='.*/.svn'

The asterisk in '.*/.svn' is shell-expanded by the line where pruned paths
are converted to regular expressions. If $PRUNEPATH in this line is placed in
double quotes works.
