I implemented just such a feature in the Emacs DVC interface to monotone; it would make sense to have a .mtn-exclude file for this. I use it to exclude Makefiles by default, since we typically edit them temporarily to compile and run debug code. From the Emacs DVC interface, they can be un-excluded for any particular commit. I suggest that if .mtn-exclude is implemented, there be a --unexclude option to override the settings in .mtn-exclude for a file for one commit. -- -- Stephe _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
