AFAICT, these are typically > not used in paths or glob patterns. The primary reason to use ':' in "check-ignore -v" is to mimic the output format of "grep -n". Emacs users can then run the commands like check-attr/check-ignore with "M-x find-grep" (or "M-x compile"), the output format is recognized by the editor, and the user can jump around with \C-x` to view hits. I do not use vim myself, but I would be mildly surprised if there isn't a similar feature there. -- -- *** Please reply-to-all at all times *** *** (do not pretend to know who is subscribed and who is not) *** *** Please avoid top-posting. *** The msysGit Wiki is here: https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki - Github accounts are free.
