问题
I have used mercurial for some time now and never had any problems using hgignore.
Now I have created a new project using eclipse, which added a .metadata directory.
I seem to be unable to ignore the .metadata.
nils@yavin $ hg status
? .metadata/.mylyn/repositories.xml.zip
? .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.history/37/509db4063df7001f14dbbfe704ff2c4e
...
My .hgignore looks like this:
syntax: regexp
/\.metadata/.*
\.metadata/.*
glob:.metadata/*
glob:.metadata/.mylyn/repositories.xml.zip
As you can see, I tried some things... I even tried adding one file directly, but it did not work.
Is there any magic involved when dealing with dot-directories? Or am I simply stupid today?
回答1:
Just remove everything and leave:
glob:.metadata/*
The first line syntax:regexp in your .hgignore is making hg treat all subsequent lines as regex, including the one with glob:.metadata/*
