Re: global update remove records generated by ggtags --accept-dotfiles key

[Shigio YAMAGUCHI]

Hello,
'global -u' is a command to simplify 'gtags -i', but it can only
be used if no options are given to gtags(1).

For now there are two solutions:

1. Use of 'gtags -i --accept-dotfiles'.

2. Use of GTAGS_OPTIONS variable.

        [gtags.conf]

        |       :tc=native:GTAGS_OPTIONS=--accept-dotfiles:

Regards,
Shigio
