Description
When viewing a changeset, it would be nice to be able to not see changes in specific kinds of text files (such as the ones found in a .xcodeproj) which are often created automatically by an IDE or interface designer. This would only apply when viewing an entire changeset at once. This takes up a lot of room on the page when an actual source file may be harder to see when scrolling through the lines and lines of text.
Perhaps the file-type blacklist can be configurable by the following in the trac.ini file:
changeset_ignores = "*.xib", "*.pbxuser", "filedump_*.txt"
where 'a*b' matches any file name starting in 'a' and ending in 'b', and these files will not be compared in a general changeset view where there are multiple files. However, if the changeset is only for a single file, the blacklist will be ignored and a difference will be seen.
Also, the small configuration window visible when viewing a changeset might also have an option to ignore this blacklist.
This is a duplicate of #6638.
