Check .gitignore about freefem-sources HOT 6 CLOSED

Would say (not sure !) line 20 of .gitignore (*#) should be removed (after stripping comments, * lasts !...)

from freefem-sources.

The *# was in the original .hgignore (written in regex)
Concerning the comments, are you talking about the GNU header, # headeralh conf default=0 freefem start=2008 upmc written or the comments at the end ?

It would be nice to clean up this file, but we need input from everyone, especially @frederichecht

from freefem-sources.

I am in Istanbul since and for a few days with bad/low wifi... So I could only have a quick look !
My opinion is that you should build the .gitignore from scratch and step-by-step (not convert it from hg).

Hi everyone. I am the one who created this file (alh are my initials). In hg, "(^|/)#" designated emacs temporary files starting with a hash. If you have any other question, please ask.

from freefem-sources.

Thank you for the answer.
@fghoussen Re-build the .gitignore from scratch could be dangerous, a lot of files presents on developer's computers could be push in the repository.
@alh104 Could you check ,if you can, that the .gitignore is ok? I just translate the .hgignore regex into .gitignore format.

OK, I'll have a look and get back to you asap.
