I'm sorry, but you suggested to just include the *versioned* folders
recursively. That's why I answered that way. After all, you should know
better than most people here how the cache works.

I'm surprised that I had to explain that to you. Think about it: how
many times have I already explained the very same on this list? And it's
not as if you just joined this list.

You could also just use "C:\Delphi*" instead of two include folders. But
then also the any unversioned folder (e.g. C:\Delphi\output) will be
included and the cache will try to crawl those if a file gets changed
inside those folders.
I'm sorry if I'm a little bit cranky. I'm trying to prepare for the
upcoming holidays by eating less (don't worry, I'll eat more soon). And
being hungry makes me cranky. So expect a lot of sarcastic comments from
me this week, and of course again after the holidays :)
