diff-ignore-perlregexptofilteroutfilesforthediff
perl regular expression to match files you want filtered out of the list of files for the diff.This is
very helpful in cutting out extraneous files that get included in the diff, e.g. if you maintain your
source in a revision control system and want to use a checkout to build a source package without
including the additional files and directories that it will usually contain (e.g. CVS, .cvsignore,
.svn/). The default regexp is already very exhaustive, but if you need to replace it, please note that
by default it can match any part of a path, so if you want to match the begin of a filename or only full
filenames, you will need to provide the necessary anchors (e.g. '(^|/)', '($|/)') yourself. Optional.Typeuniline.extend-diff-ignore-Perlregexptoextendthediff-ignoresetup
The perl regular expression specified will extend the default regular expression associated to diff-
ignore by concatenating "|regexp" to the default regexp. This option is convenient to exclude some auto-
generated files from the automatic patch generation. Optional.Typeuniline.compression-Specifythecompressiontouseforcreatedtarballsanddifffiles.
The default is xz for formats 2.0 and newer, and gzip for format 1.0. xz is only supported since dpkg-dev
