Pathname Optimization:ACCUREV_IGNORE_ELEMS and .acignore : Per-Directory Pathname Optimization — the .acignore File

Per-Directory Pathname Optimization — the .acignore File
AccuRev’s pathname optimization facility provides for faster performance by allowing certain objects to be ignored during various commands — notably (external)-status objects during whole-workspace searches. The value of environment variable ACCUREV_IGNORE_ELEMS is a pathname pattern — or several patterns, separated by SPACEs; objects whose pathnames match a pattern are ignored by the various commands.
AccuRev now supports specification of objects to be ignored on a per-directory basis, in addition to the global specification in ACCUREV_IGNORE_ELEMS. One or more directories in a workspace can contain a text file named .acignore. An .acignore file works the same way as ACCUREV_IGNORE_ELEMS, with these exceptions:
In an .acignore file, multiple patterns must appear on separate lines — not SPACE-separated on a single line.
An .acignore file applies only to its own directory. In particular, it does not apply recursively to lower-level directories.
