$ cat .mtn-ignore
debian/files
debian/gnat
$ mtn ls ignored
$ mtn ls debian/files debian/gnat
debian/files
debian/gnat:
DEBIAN usr
$ mtn ls known
.mtn-ignore
debian
debian/changelog
debian/compat
debian/control
debian/copyright
debian/rules
debian/source.lintian-overrides
$ mtn add debian/files # should be ignored
mtn: adding debian/files to workspace manifest
I sincerely hope I'm doing something wrong... I tried the following
regular expressions, all with the same result:
debian/files
^debian/files$
/debian/files
^\./debian/files$
^/debian/files$
(The last three do not match the output of "mtn ls unknown" so I don't
expect them to work; but I do expect the first two to work.)
