No, I don't.

Ahh.  What I did was "tla add *.php" assuming that the shell would expand
*.php and I'd end up adding all my php source files in one directory with
a single command.  I couldn't find anything in the tutorial about adding
multiple files, and I have enough that manually doing a tla add on each
would be a pain.

So do I need something like 'for x in *.php; do tla add $x; done'?

How do I get rid of the '*.php.id'?

And still the original question - how do I get tla to ignore the files
that I don't want to include?


Thanks for the assistance,
