feature request: excluding dirs in file.recurse (repurpose exclude_pat?)

[Mrten]

Suppose I want to set mode 750 with a file.directory recurse for a homedir, then want to set 700 for the .ssh dir inside it.

Can't be done at the moment, so I think it would be useful if exclude_pat also applied to the recurse: items.

Sounds reasonable. Thanks for the request.

Another usecase: setting repository trees to a specific group and mode; for almost all files in the repository 660 is appropriate, but for a few hooks it isn't (750).

I need to explicitly enumerate all dirs in the repository root now:

svn repo dir structure:

repo
  - hooks
  - db
  - conf
  - ...
