[U-Boot-Users] Re: Revision COntrol, Patch Database

I've been using GNU Arch extensively with the Linux kernel and I am
happy with what it can do. I have a minor suggestion below:

You should usually import a clean source to avoid adding
compiler-generated files to the repository. Arch tries to ensure some
discipline on what files are kept in the working directory (but this
can be modified to be a simple warning, not an error).

You can ignore them by changing the "unrecognized" regexp in the
{arch}/=tagged-method file and it or by adding .arch-inventory files
in those directories.
