isExcluded

public static boolean isExcluded(File folder)

Tests whether the given folder is excluded (unversioned) from version control.

• Folders set in versioning.unversionedFolders system property are excluded. Misconfigured automount daemons may try to look for versioning metadata causing hangs and full load.
• Netbeans userdir is excluded by default. To include the userdir set versioning.netbeans.user.versioned system property to true

Versioning systems must NOT scan a folder if this method returns true and should consider it as unversioned.

Parameters:

folder - a folder to query

Returns:

true if the given folder is excluded from version control, false otherwise
