#1202 Ignore common Linux files in source subdirectory

[Sadi Yumusak]

While working on a project user may need to keep some source files open (e.g. to make some formatting adjustments to avoid segmentation errors, to check formating, etc.) which creates some temporary files, and they are also reproduced in target subdirectory when user presses Ctrl+D, and they are left there unnoticed because they are hidden files.
Therefore automatically ignoring such (hidden) files would be better.
Note: Such files I see in my Ubuntu system usually start with .~lock. but I think they may include those starting with .fuse_hidden and ~$ as well.

You can ignore those files yourself.

Are you suggesting .~lock, .fuse_hidden and ~$ should be added to the default exclusions?

Thanks a lot Didier for drawing my attention to that possibility.
Maybe it could be a good idea to add such common files to default exclusions (might save you time and effort as well ; -)

I have changed the title accordingly.

BTW I've noticed that I actually attempted to exclude the files starting with .~lock some time ago (unsuccessfully it seems), and then I forgot, maybe because I'm getting old ; -)

This modified subject makes better sense. Meanwhile I've now managed to do it for myself with two new entries: **/.* and **/~$*
