Hi all,

By error, I added a patch which recorded autom4te.cache folder. Now I added:
(^|/)autom4te.cache($|/)

this line to the boring file, hoping that darcs now removed the
folders but unfortunately it doesn't (darcs 1.0.7):
$ darcs whatsnew -ls
...
M ./autom4te.cache/output.0 -3481 +5164
...

Any ideas what the problem might be?


Darcs doesn't and shouldn't remove anything "implicitly": you have to explicitly remove that file (either with darcs rm, or with a plain rm), and record a new patch with that fact. From then on, darcs won't consider that file anymore (I assume the .cache file is a trow-away file, more in general, you move it somewhere safe, register the patch, and move it back!).

hth,
ciao, lele.
