Well, with all zit repositories in '.zit/' directory (similar to RCS/) you could have point core.excludesfile to _common_ '.zit/excludes'; the pattern doesn't change from zit repository to zit repository? You could even use per-user ~/.zitignore (I'm not sure if git expands '~' in paths; there was some patch for it, but was it accepted?) or system-wide /usr/lib/zitignore or /usr/libexec/zitignore file. -- Jakub Narebski Poland -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
