Auto-deferral regexes for CodeReview were implemented in r63277 [1], and I deployed this feature three weeks ago. It allows us to set an array of regexes that will be matched against the path of each new commit; if one of them matches, the commit is automatically marked as 'deferred' instead of 'new'.
There are a few limitations to this implementation that are important to understand: * it only matches paths, not commit summaries. This means auto-deferring e.g. TranslateWiki exports is harder * it only matches the root path of the commit, which is very often an uninformative one like /trunk/phase3 , /trunk/extensions , /trunk or even / . This means you can't e.g. auto-defer all commits touching a certain file or path Despite these limitations, this feature could be quite useful for autodeferring at least some large parts of the repository we don't care about review-wise. Any suggestions for paths to auto-defer?
