Does it need to be do darned large? Your last big commit (2024) blew away
practically a whole day of Pilato's time to review it. The notification
stuff is *perfectly* decomposable. Change an API at a time.

Or maybe change the notification functions to support their new
functionality in one commit, then start using that in further commits.

I'm concerned. Your commit rate has been near zero the past few days, which
is kind of implying a power plant RSN. That scares me :-)

Use the mime type. A client might want to be more descriptive.

Personally, I like:

  if (finfo.name[0] == '.'
      && (finfo.name[1] == '\0'
          || (finfo.name[1] == '.' && finfo.name[2] == '\0')))
    continue;

But that is a "micro optimization nit" :-)

Why? What are the semantics? How does the *behavior* change. A little more
description will help somebody decide whether they qualify as a "checkout".

(yah... this is all internal, but the flag seems a bit arbitrary without
 more info on what is happening)

Isn't the extra space in there so that "(bin)" can be inserted sometimes?

Just nuke the file. This *is* version control, after all. We have a copy.

[ if you leave it, I'll lay 10-to-1 odds that it will still get maintained.
  people will jump to the change, and miss the #if 0 around the file. (well,
  for people that *search* for changes rather than (ahem) rely on the
  compiler to catch problems (and then miss, say, mod_dav_svn because they
  aren't compiling it)) ]
