I'll go that way. First, absolute path to ~/.zitignore is a bit fragile: what if layout of home directories for users change, for example because of increasing number of users some fan-out is required (/home/nick -> /home/2/nick)? Second, ~/.zitignore looks like something that user can change; if you install zit, it can install libexec/zitignore somewhere... or just use ./zit/excludes (with 'do not edit' comment perhaps...). -- 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
