I don't think it is that difficult. But I'm a lousy Haskell programmer and don't have much free time. And as far as I know, nobody else has attempted it. That being said, it can be a little trickier than it first appears. The main issue with my implementation was that it didn't account for dependencies. If you ignore a patch, but one you want depends on it, something sane should happen. It could be as simple as saying "you can't pull this patch until you unignore this patch:" or it could have an interactive mechanism for unignoring the patch. My implementation will pull in the patch, not realizing it depends on another one that has been ignored, which is not so good. -- Zachary P.
