Ignore patterns
 
2
***************
 
3
 
 
4
Ignore patterns need to be flexible but simple.
 
5
 
 
6
Based on the system from rsync, which is in turn based on that of
 
7
CVS.  However, I won't implement all of this at first but rather add
 
8
bits as they seem to be needed.
 
9
 
 
10
First build a list by concatenating:
 
11
 
 
12
* per-user configuration
 
13
* per-tree configuration
 
14
* command line options
 
15
 
 
16
Just one ``.bzrignore`` at tree root?
 
17
 
 
18
File can contain '+ ' and '- ' prefixes to include and exclude things,
 
19
also '#' for comments.
 
20
 
 
21
Should have a ``--ignore`` command line option that specifies ignore
 
22
patterns; by putting a ! in this you can turn off any other includes.
 
23
(Similar to CVS.)
