Like I said a few times before, it is difficult for me to classify
"source" with a reg-ex rule because it frequently happen that I have
.c/.pl/and-other-usually-recognized-as-source in my tree w/out being part
of the repository (mainly short lived test/cr*p files). My future setups
will be:

tagline (arch experts suggestion)
+
untagged-source unrecognized (strict commits)

Sounds good ?
