It's not clear what to do here. One solution that I thought of was that 'ignore' only applies to files that are found recursively -- so if you say "add init.d/", then net.lo will be ignored, but if you actually straight-out say "add init.d/net.lo", then it will still be added. The problem with this is that it makes "add ." and "add *" quite surprisingly different, so I'm dubious. Any ideas? How do other systems handle the "no, really, I actually don't want to ignore this file, even though I said so elsewhere" case? (In your case, I really would recommend overriding the ignore hook, since the default really is designed for software development projects...) -- Nathaniel -- Linguistics is arguably the most hotly contested property in the academic realm.
