Subject: Generic Interface to Ignoring Files in VC
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2010 09:18:29 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1b51ad30-ede1-4e96-9b39-446d9f7389da@z35g2000yqd.googlegroups.com> (raw)
Has anybody extended vc to provide a generic interface to ignoring
file(s) either using a specific file or using a glob matcher?
The simplest implementation I can think simply cases on vc-backend()
and vc-state() and then either add it to the .vc-name-ignore file or
ignore it through a shell command. I only know about git and it uses a
file named .gitignore . The only bother I can think of is if several
parental directories contain the .gitignore file. I guess the bottom-
most directory wins in this case right?
If I want to write one in a way compatible with the way vc handles
different backends where would I start?
Thanks in advance,
Per Nordlöw
