Strip leading slashes from `include` and `exclude`

[Ryan J Ollos]

There is currently a note on the wiki page that leading slashes must be omitted when specifying a path relative to the repository root. It would be better if we just removed leading slashes and allowed either syntax.

Hello,

I took over maintainership of this plugin from athomas some time ago. There is a significant amount of work to do on this plugin, and I don't foresee having the time to do it all.

helend has written the TracSuposePlugin, which seems like a much better solution. Rather than writing the repository search functionality from scratch, a Trac interface to an existing repository search tool has been created. Rather than throwing more effort at this plugin, I'd prefer to help helend with enhancements to the TracSuposePlugin, or spend my time on other Trac plugin projects altogether.

I'd like to get some feedback and hear if anyone knows of a compelling reason to continue this project rather than moving to the TracSuposePlugin. Is there functionality in this plugin that doesn't exist in the TracSuposePlugin? I'm open to hearing all opinions and suggestions.

I'll leave these tickets open for about a week, but in all likelihood will close all of them and deprecate the plugin.

Thanks for your time,

• Ryan
