Question

I’ve seen the posts for hgignore everything except, but I can’t seem to transform the regex to work with subdirectories as well.

syntax: regexp
(?<!\.cfm)$

Works for the root directory but not subdirs/subsubdirs. I don’t want to manually specify those.

This is what I see without the ignore:

>hg stat
? document.cfm
? document.txt
? subdir1\document.cfm
? subdir1\document.txt
? subdir1\subsubdir1\document.cfm
? subdir1\subsubdir1\document.txt
? subdir2\document.cfm
? subdir2\document.txt

This is what I see with the ignore:

>hg stat
M .hgignore
? document.cfm

This is what I want to see:

>hg stat
? document.cfm
? subdir1\document.cfm
? subdir1\subsubdir1\document.cfm
? subdir2\document.cfm

The desired action is impossible. Python only does fixed-width negative lookups. Closing this question. Thanks to anyone who looked into it.
