accurev: ignore all files with a given extension

Question

I had assumed that placing a *.classpath entry in my .acignore file would ignore all filed that have the .classpath extension, but this only works for the root directory. I can reach subdirectories using */*.classpath, etc, but is there a blanket way to icnore all files in my project with that extension?

Answer 1

The correct syntax to ignore the .classpath files recursively is:

**\*.classpath
