I'm confused about the CVSROOT/cvsignore file. I was hoping that I'd be
able to put patterns such as:
guile-core/guile-readline/Makefile
in that file and have it ignore those files. A quick test leads me to
believe that only the basename is allowed, and that the path-prefix
cannot be used. I.e., if I want to ignore Makefile, I have to ignore
*all* Makefile-s in all modules of the repo.
If this is the case, then I'm not sure that I buy into the idea of using
a CVSROOT/cvsignore file any more (instead of per-directory, checked-in
.cvsignore files). Anybody have experience making cvsignore do what I
want?
Thoughts and comments are appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg
