What I've found in practice is that a file which matches the "exclude" regex is excluded from *processing*, but it is still copied over to the destination directory. Thus, for example, if I have "^Makefile$" as the exclude pattern, and I have a file `src/foo/Makefile`, then that file is copied unaltered into `dest/foo/Makefile`. However, what I want is for `src/foo/Makefile` to be completely ignored: that it is not only not processed, but not even *copied* into the destination directory. + +I'm not sure if the current behaviour is a bug or a feature, but I would like a "totally ignore this file" feature if it's possible to have one. + +-- [[KathrynAndersen]] diff --git a/doc/forum/Need_something_more_powerful_than_Exclude/comment_2_0019cd6b34c8d8678b2532de57a92d15._comment b/doc/forum/Need_something_more_powerful_than_Exclude/comment_2_0019cd6b34c8d8678b2532de57a92d15._comment new file mode 100644 index 000000000..7842caeac --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/forum/Need_something_more_powerful_than_Exclude/comment_2_0019cd6b34c8d8678b2532de57a92d15._comment @@ -0,0 +1,12 @@ +[[!comment format=mdwn + username="http://smcv.pseudorandom.co.uk/" + nickname="smcv" + subject="expression anchored too closely?" + date="2010-11-23T10:43:21Z" + content=""" +It looks as though you might only be excluding a top-level Makefile, and not a Makefile in subdirectories.
