As the topic says, should ignore, ascii, and exclude patterns use regular expressions, or filename globbing? regexps would allow more powerful matching, but as this will be dealing with filenames globbing may be more appropriate. opinions?

Agree and agree. Probably best to keep it simple. Filename globbing is widely known and I think the most appropriate. Maybe you could have an "advanced" option but I think you'd want to minimise it's use. -- ************** * Simon Wong * ************** |

The CVS code for this is functional at the moment, via the site settings dialog. A tooltip says what to type. There is a problem with this though. If a pattern excludes files, let's say glob:*.html then you right click on an html file in the file view and uncheck exclude it removes the glob:*.html pattern, as that is what matched the file. Sorting this out would require creation of do not exclude patterns etc, which I don't really like the sound of.
