That's absolutely false. My complaint has been that it matches a *
glob (among other things). The counter-argument against that has been
for me to tell all of my tools to work with ``tla inventory.''
In fact, my complaint seems to be the opposite of what you're' saying.
I have no problem typing {arch}, I have a problem avoiding it.
For example, where I would before type the following:
ctags -R *
I now get to type something like this:
ctags `tla inventory -s`
Except...oops:
desktop:~/prog/p4gw/cms 3011> ctags `tla inventory -s`
/usr/local/bin/ctags: Argument list too long.
I suppose since this version of ctags has an option to avoid
clobbering the tags file on a second invocation, I can use
xargs...unless there's whitespace or something in a filename somewhere.
Alternatively, I guess I can call ctags in a way similar to my initial
invocation, but instead either explicitly include only the directories
likely to contain source for which I want tags, or maybe even a
[A-z0-9]* to avoid {arch}.
OK, good, ctags is out of the way with only eight extra characters to
have to type each time (unless you count the three times I have to hit
shift).
It's still worth it to me to use arch, but I'm not so excited about it
that I need to keep looking around the hood ornament to see the road.
[Anyway, I don't want {arch} to go away at all, because it's a
convenient
place to put my own arch-related meta-files.]
I don't think anyone's suggesting the directory should go away, but I
think it can certainly be more out of the way.
