accurev: ignore all files with a given extension

Question

I had assumed that placing a *.classpath entry in my .acignore file would ignore all filed that have the .classpath extension, but this only works for the root directory. I can reach subdirectories using */*.classpath, etc, but is there a blanket way to icnore all files in my project with that extension?

The correct syntax to ignore the .classpath files recursively is:

**\*.classpath

Recursive rules in the .acignore are not supported in AccuRev versions prior to 5.7. In version 5.6 and earlier, the ACCUREV_IGNORE_ELEMS environment variable may be a better and less tedious solution.
