Description Alvaro Herrera 2004-08-20 19:34:47 UTC 
It would be cool if the dirview would ignore the files mentioned in the relevant
.cvsignore file when comparing two directory trees.

(Example: I have two source trees of the same code checked out, and when
comparing them, ignore such files.  Currently my pain is caused by bison/flex .c
generated files.)

With the new VC framework this could be possible for all VC systems.
It is quite tricky to code though.

I'm not really convinced that this is something we want to do by default, but it's something I'd be happy to see implemented by a third-party plugin. Sadly, plugins for filters are still unimplemented (bug 662333), but since I don't think this functionality is ever going to be in Meld itself, I'm closing this bug.

Thanks anyway for your bug report.
