Hello,

I'm trying to load some project into darcs repository and I have lot of
directories with the name core. It is faling to add all them because they are
considered as boring.

It would be good to recognize boring files & boring directories, because
correctly it silently skipped directory with name "core" and failed only on
adding childs of that "boring" core directory.

Thanks.
Rado

We cannot distinguish between files and directories in a boring 
regexp, since trailing slashes are removed when we convert to the 
internal representation.

The workaround is to temporarily remove that regexp from the 
boringfile, add -r everything, then restore the boringfile. This 
works because a file that is already in the repo is never considered 
boring.
