I have an use case a little bit tricky.. I want to backup a folder with a lot of SVN checkouts, and each checkout and its subfolders all have an .svn folder, which I don't want to backup. The suggested workaround of explicitly exclude each hidden folder is infeasible, since there are thousands of them.
Having an option to exclude every ".svn" directory on all directory levels would be awesome to me! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to deja-dup in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/458044 Title: déja dup does not have an option to exclude hidden files (~save.txt or .config.txt) Status in Déjà Dup Backup Tool: Confirmed Status in “deja-dup” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: deja-dup Feature request :-) ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: deja-dup 7.4-0ubuntu2 ProcEnviron: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: deja-dup Uname: Linux 2.6.28-15-generic i686 UnreportableReason: Das Paket stammt nicht von Ubuntu.
