Bug ID: 5903
Summary: allow to ignore binary files that don't have a file
extension
Product: Mercurial
Version: 3.7.3
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: feature
Priority: wish
Component: Mercurial
Assignee: bugzi...@mercurial-scm.org
Reporter: kobi2...@gmail.com
CC: mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org
I would like to have hg ignore the generated executables of the project, and in
linux, executables normally don't have a file extension.
it seems I can't specify such a pattern for hgignore to understand.
Can you include something similar to the 'file' utility, where a number of
bytes are read to see if the file is a text/ascii/utf file?
it would be fine if the user can enable this feature with a configuration line.
(always ignore binary files)
Thank you
