What brought this to mind, was that it seems to be impossible to exclude all directories with name ".svn".
In Ant syntax that would be described by "**/.svn".
In Java regex it would be something like "\.\\(.*?)\\\.svn(.*?)\\([^\\]+)".
Of course I may just not understand your filter syntax -- if so please correct my mistake
The explanation given for the filter syntax is somewhat unclear. It says the following:
"Prefix filters with ':' for full path matching."
I can't figure out what that means, particularly if I look at the built-in filter called "Exclude source control" which is this:
*.bak,*.scc,*.taf,:*_svn*:*.svn*,:*\cvs\*
What is ":*.svn*" supposed to do? It does NOT for instance exclude relative paths that are displayed like these:
.\.svn\
.\codesourcery\.svn\
