Description Ross Burton 2007-07-13 10:13:14 UTC 
[ from http://bugs.debian.org/432928 ]


Meld does not recognize RCS metadata as such; i.e. it will not be
ignored when recursively diffing (melding) over directories.  I
believe the attached patch corrects this.

(It definitely works for RCS/ dirs, but I haven't tested whether it
works when foo and foo,v are in the same directory, which is a less
common but still valid style.)
