None that are used in the Emacs tree. I researched this when working on reposurgeon's bzr support; the only other problem appears to be bzr "RE:" expressions. > I've replaced the ./ with / in bzrignore and use it with git now. > If this looks good I'll commit it to trunk. It might simplify things on conversion day if you don't. The goal of the final polished conversion is to make it look as though git had been in use all along - that way people won't see distracting changes in behavior when they check out old revisions. This means I'm going to have to write some reposurgeon procedure or facil= ity to map .bzrignores to .gitignores throughout the history. Having a .gitigno= re already in the tree at final conversion time might complicate that. --=20 Eric S. Raymond
