in {arch}/\=tagging-method:
===
explicit
untagged-source unrecognized
exclude ^(.arch-ids|\{arch\})$
junk ^(,.*)$
precious  
^(\+.*|\.gdbinit|\.#ckpts-lock|=build\.*|=install\.*|CVS|CVS\.adm|RCS|RCSLOG|SCCS|TAGS)$

^.*(~|\.~[0-9]+~|\.bak|\.orig|\.rej|\.original|\.modified|\.reject)$

source ^[_=a-zA-Z0-9].*$
