What I tried to explain was - if you're having multiple working copies, AND - they're overlapping, AND - you have files versioned in both, THEN you might get a problem.
So, for example: If "/" and "/etc" are two working copies, and "/etc" is not ignored for the "/", then eg. property changes for "/etc" + "passwd" would be shared by "/etc/passwd" in the other working copy. In your example the paths are completely distinct, so there's no problem. > Also in the initial announcement you say: > >> The delay can be explained by it being *incompatible* with the older >> versions > > What exactly does this mean? Can I attempt to upgrade at some point or...? The ignore patterns format got changed, to accomodate the grouping functionality. Yes, you can. The distribution includes a perl script to change the files in-place; please look at the announcement. > [1] First problem at > http://www.nabble.com/Congratulations-for-fsvs-1.1.17..-but-here-are-my-first-problems-%3A)-td20230999.html I'll take a look.
