And that's the right thing to do. A VCS shouldn't add this kind of policy. If dot files were ignored by default, they would be hidden in "hg status" and you would forget to add them for tracking (.hgignore for example). You can still add something like .*.swp to .hgignore for the swap files. Markus -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
