Indeed, the attachment got lost when I had to resend the mail, due to earlier mail problems. You find the patch at http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=9b370b93b9cd9b4599429cfe42b4667ff7e89be9 > Also, I would prefer if > the updated ignore file were maintained in sorted order, rather than > appending new entries at the bottom.

Let's see in the next few weeks how it works out... Bruno
