Yes, it would have to be some config option, because that would mean trying *all* patterns on *all* known entries ... and that can take some time, and possibly include entries that you want to keep.

Maybe the inverse - doing "unversion" with some flag puts a take-pattern in front of the list? But the shell expands wildcards, whereas FSVS doesn't ... so you'd get a whole lot of take-patterns. > At the moment I need to edit the ignore list, then unversion the files > and if some other admin has done work also remember the pathes i removed. > What do you think about that? Well, since some time I've got a point on my TODO ... "fsvs shelf" and "unshelf" or something like that. That should mark all local changes as not-changed, so that only new changes appear (and get committed) - and on "unshelf" they get visible again. But that should work in multiple layers, and possibly many changes in a single file should be splitted into the various shelves, etc. .... Kind of what quilt does: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/quilt But I have no real idea how that can be sanely implemented. Currently I'd like to keep that behaviour as-is - trying a hundred patterns against some hundred thousand paths isn't nice. But if you really insist, we can discuss further which solution you could implement ;-) Regards, Phil -- Versioning your /etc, /home or even your whole installation?
