           Summary: Ignore Mercurial control files by default
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.7.0
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jglick@netbeans.org


Patch should be self-explanatory, but I am not sure what the consensus is on
updates to the default excludes list.

DefaultExcludesTest.java would also need to be patched, I think.

Isn't the point of <defaultexcludes> to allow users to modify this list directly
in the build file, avoiding such patches? If we add mercurial, we can't really
refuse to add other SCM's control files, and <defaultexcludes> becomes kinda
moot, no? --DD

The way I recall it, it was to stop ongoing maintenance of the hard-coded
default exclude list, since it's something that changes too often, and can't
grow on to include all non-user files generated by editors, SCM systems, etc...

We can't remove files from the list from BC reasons, but we shouldn't grow it
any longer either, and thus the <defaultexcludes> task was born. Gives the user
all the flexibility he needs.

Sure CVS and SVN are "special" because they are the main OSS SCMs, but mainly
they were added before <defaultexcludes>. Add Hg to the list if you really want,
but I don't view this change as necessary given what you can do with Ant already.

I was assuming that Ant should ship with general excludes that are not specific
to a build process, and that <defaultexcludes> would add locally meaningful
patterns only.

I guess the motivation was that CVS and Subversion are represented already, and
what makes these more important than other systems? Simply popularity, or is it
just that they were added before a consensus formed to freeze the default list
and cannot now be removed for compatibility reasons?
