Proposal: Better management of ignore patterns

[sicro]

@harrisonhjones

I’m personally not a huge fan of symlinks; coming from a Windows background symlinks are still things I don’t naturally understand and I would not be surprised if others felt the same way. Additionally, on Windows there is pretty aweful support for symlinks, at least at this point.

FYI and slightly OT
This might not help with your problem regarding global ignore patterns, but this will certainly help with creating and managing hardlinks, softlinks and symlinks with Windows Explorer!

It’s just been updated yesterday, so it’s still maintained.
