As a sanity check, are you sure you are using glob matching rather than regex matching? Perl/Python regex matching is default.
If you were using regex matching the leading * is a syntax error. The .* would match any number of any characters (including none) and the # would match a hash. Depending on how the syntax error is handled, your filter would match any file containing a # anywhere. For a regex \.*# would match any number of full stop characters (including none) followed by # - effectively the same as the non-workaround version. -- Peter Jaquiery -----Original Message----- From: Mads Kiilerich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 12 July 2011 9:27 p.m. To: Laurent Dufrechou Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [thg] [usability] .hgignore don't work when "." in glob formula On 07/12/2011 09:32 AM, Laurent Dufrechou wrote: > Hello, > > I've just seen another little < bug >. > > In ignore panel. > > I got some files I want to filter that should match this filter: *.*# > > (toto.s1#, titi.s2#) > > Sadly the "." is making the glob failing.

AFAICS there is no problem with "." and your workaround doesn't make any difference in 2.1.1. thg do however not escape "#" correctly when it is inserted in .hgignore. In your case you should have "*.*\#" in your .hgignore. /Mads ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AppSumo Presents a FREE Video for the SourceForge Community by Eric Ries, the creator of the Lean Startup Methodology on "Lean Startup Secrets Revealed."
