need a way to see default ignore list

[Parth Malwankar]

I am not quite sure whats happening here but 'bzr add' does not see a file named 'file0.a'. 'bzr add file0.a' works fine though. This is bzr 2.1 on ubuntu 9.10.

[tmp]% bzr init abc

[tmp]% cd abc
[abc]% echo hello > file0.a
[abc]% cat file0.a
hello
[abc]% bzr add
[abc]% bzr st
[abc]%
[abc]% which bzr

Ok. I think I get it. I think this file is getting ignored as bzr thinks its an archive file. Which is fine. Is there any way for me to know what files are ignored by default?

The following don't work.

[abc]% bzr ls --ignored
[abc]% bzr ignored
[abc]%

Using -v with ignored and ls shows what files in the current working copy are ignored but I wasn't able to locate ignored files in the docs. Is there such a list? In that case I can mark this as invalid. If not maybe the bug should be either to add this list to docs or better still have an option like --list-all which would simply list all the ignore global/default and branch specific ignore patterns.

[ig]% bzr ls --ignored -v
I foo.a
[ig]% bzr ignored -v
foo.a *.a
[ig]%

I thought there was an option under "bzr ignore" for this, but I can't see it. We should add one and make sure it's documented.
