So, should the \"correct\" CVS exclusion also just be:

Code: Select all

:*\\CVS

Yes. Just keep in mind that such filter will also work for paths like this:

In using 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 its much faster. (but it shows the ".svn" directories)

Its like the first exclusion pattern is not ignoring the contents of the .svn directory when doing the compare.

I don't see why.

This filter is going to match more items, not less than
As a result, more items should be excluded if you use the first filter, and the comparison should be faster.

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

I believe we already covered this.
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 .svn directories)?

It really appears that the simple ":\.svn" exclude pattern is not preventing ED from "looking" into the .svn directories (which contain lots of files that are going to be ignored anyways).
It's made worse when comparing a local directory against a networked directory (a share on a network server).

OK, now it's my turn to admit being mixed up. The pattern that you need to use is actually
(note the star at the end).
