:Does it support command-line passed "ignore" files, instead of
:.cpignore? (I prefer to have all these things in one place...)
If you mean can you have a single ignore file containing the relative
or full paths of the files/directories to ignore, the answer is not
at the moment. I see the utility, but it would also be extremely
dangerous. You can change the cpignore filename that cpdup looks for
in each directory, though.
Having .cpignore files in the source directories directly is a safety
mechanism. At BEST we even 'chflags schg .cpignore' the most critical
files.
It may not be necessary for me to be that paranoid now that deletions
are confirmed by default ( they aren't in the version BEST was using ).
:Does it support patterns in .cpignore?
Simple */? patterns. *NOT* regex.
