Hi,

I would like to ignore files if certain other files are present. In my special case, I want to ignore foo.pdf and foo.eps if foo.fig is present (both pdf and eps are generated on the fly but don't belong into repository). In general, I do NOT want to ignore pdf or eps. There are a lot of foos so I would like to have a general solution.

Is this possible?

Cheers Sebastian
