Re: [PATCH v2] Support "\" in non-wildcard exclusion entries

Hi,

On Tue, 10 Feb 2009, Finn Arne Gangstad wrote:
"\" was treated differently in exclude rules depending on whether a
wildcard match was done. For wildcard rules, "\" was de-escaped in
fnmatch, but this was not done for other rules since they used strcmp
instead.  A file named "#foo" would not be excluded by "\#foo", but would
be excluded by "\#foo*".

We now treat all rules with "\" as wildcard rules.

Another solution could be to de-escape all non-wildcard rules as we
read them, but we would have to do the de-escaping exactly as fnmatch
does it to avoid inconsistencies.

In other tests, we avoid 'touch' (IIRC it is not available everywhere or 
some such), and we write ': > \#ignore1' instead.

BTW we do not need the # in the name, it could be any letter, right?  
(Just for my understanding, not as a request to change it.)

You probably want to use \EOF here.
