I believe we already covered this.

:*\.svn
does match directories named ".svn", and you seem to have tested that .

Sorry, you're right.. I was getting my "issues" mixed up.

Have you tried comparing a checked out SVN project against an "exported" SVN project (one that doesn't have all of the ...

Except doesn't seem to match/ignore a directory named ".svn". (When that directory is present on only one "side" of the comparison.)

In using :*\.svn I'm still seeing a substantial slow down when comparing a subversion "sandbox" with a directory that doesn't have the .svn subdirectories.

But when using :*\.svn\* its much faster. (but it shows the ".svn" directories)

Its like the first exclusion pattern is not ignoring the ...

If .svn folders only exist in the left directory then the results look right. In your first filter you ignore .svn names, and that is what EDPro sees when it scans the left directory. *\.svn\* filter (which is a path filter because of ':'), on the other hand, does not match the path D:\sandbox\b_5 ...

It's safer to use :*\.svn\*

I'm using :*\.svn\* in my Exclude pattern, but when I compare a Subversion controlled directory to a non-subversion controlled directory I'm still seeing the ".svn ...
