You assume that the VCS is the only thing I want to avoid seeing those files. Not true; I also want my text editor's file browser, my shell's filename completion, my packaging tools, my deployment tools, etc. to avoid seeing them. Rather than having to configure every single developer tool to ignore those files, I prefer to have a simple way to just make them go away. Don't make the mistake of thinking that because you've found one common reason to do something, that you've found all the reasons for it. -- \ “As we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we | `\ should be glad to serve others by any invention of ours; and | _o__) this we should do freely and generously.” —Benjamin Franklin | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ melbourne-pug mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/melbourne-pug
