I’m trying to set up .hgignore correctly, but I’m having some problems. I don’t want to see executables in my list of unadded files.
On Windows, this is very easy: *.exe. On Linux, executables typically do not have an extension. So how do you set up a filter that will ignore files that have no extension?
There’s no way to do it. You could, relatively easily, build a list of the executable files that exist now and automatically add them to your .hgignore but new ones will still show up as un-tracked.
