From df522794c38934be3229a11e0e2432a1f2a3bc8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Herland Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2010 20:41:00 +0100 Subject: scan_path(): Do not recurse into hidden directories by default Paths that start with a period ('.') are considered hidden in the Unix world. scan_path() should arguably not recurse into these directories by default. This patch makes it so, and introduces the "scan-hidden-path" config variable for overriding the new default and revert to the old behaviour (scanning _all_ directories, including hidden .directories).
