Description (last modified by dkocher)
The current default value for "Skip files matching the regular expression" under "Downloads" and "Uploads" on the Advanced tab of the Transfers Preference panel is:
.*~\..*|\.DS_Store|\.svn|CVS
I suggest that it be changed to:
.*~\..*|\.DS_Store|\.svn|CVS|\.git
(i.e. adding a pattern for git archives).
Pros: this rule is coherent with restricting svn data, which is already in the default.
Cons: the proposed default will prevent effective backup of local .git repositories. Maybe only the Downloads default should be modified?
