[New-bugs-announce] [issue15442] Expand the list of default dirs filecmp.dircmp ignores

[Eli Bendersky]

New submission from Eli Bendersky <eliben at gmail.com>:

The default ignore list of filecmp.dircmp is ['RCS', 'CVS', 'tags'].

This predates even Subversion! I suggest to freshen up this module to also ignore the dirs for SVN, Mercurial, Git and Bazaar.


[this is a new feature, so no earlier than 3.4...]
