Hello,

As stated in one of my earlier mails, I also got an issue with files to ignore.

I have now created a folder .fossil-settings and placed the glob files in it.

Actually, I got a batch file that reads the file filter settings from another file and creates the binary-glob and the ignore-glob files on the fly before an addremove and a commit (crlf-glob is not created and only contains an asterisk now).

Before, the batch file read the external files with the crlf/binary/exclusion masks and created command line arguments, separated by commata, now it just writes its output to the mentioned files in .fossil-settings, each file mask on a different line.

The outcome is exactly the same. Some files are added to the repository every single time although their - in my opinion - correct name masks are in correctly added to ignore-glob.

Example of .fossil-settings\ignore-glob:
*.obj
*.tlog
*.VC.db

The real file of course contains a much bigger list. I only picked these three masks as an example.

Fossil happily ignores the .obj files (and many others), but no matter how hard I try, it keeps adding all .tlog and all .VC.db files (and it ignores many others too). I can't figure out a pattern that would tell me why some files/filters are accepted and work as advertised in the ignore-glob, others aren't.

Is there anything I overlooked?

Any help or idea is highly appreciated.
