[darcs-users] [hoan at ton-that.org: [darcs-devel] New ignore and unignore commands]

[Eric Y. Kow]

Hi,

Hoan Ton-That has submitted a patch that adds a darcs ignore mechanism.
The basic idea is that ignored files are skipped when you do a darcs
record, even if it's something that darcs is supposed to be keeping
track of.

I am inclined to accept this feature (with a few modifications), but
wanted to see what you might think.  I understand that this is not the
most general solution -- domains might be a better choice -- but what I
imagine is that if we did manage to implement such a system, we would
always be able to translate the ignore mechanism into the more general
terms.

One question for the community:
 Do we actually want an actual ignore/unignore command,
 or would an ignore file suffice?

I would suggest that an ignore file is plenty, and that two extra
commands would just be clutter.

Any thoughts on the matter?

Thanks!
