.hgignore is a list of things you DO NOT want to be tracked. If you look in the web2py directory for hidden files you will find .hgignore
Fill .hgignore with all of the items that you DO NOT want to have included in your repo / clone. The last time I checked the one that comes with Web2py from source even included (I mean excluded, or ignored...) *.pyc files and other nix / OS X files that most people don't want to track. Oh wow, looks like it has been really nicely refined now. As far a the applications directory stuff this is what is in a recent version: applications/*/databases/* applications/*/sessions/* applications/*/errors/* applications/*/cache/* applications/*/uploads/* applications/examples/static/epydoc applications/examples/static/sphinx applications/admin/cron/cron.master Wow, almost missed this at the end of the .hgignore, that looks really interesting.... syntax: re ^applications/(?!(admin|examples|welcome|__init__)).*$ Chris On Feb 24, 2:45 pm, pbreit <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes.
