I had some unrelated trouble with the head of master so I applied your
patch to the 8.2.5h tag.  It applied cleanly with a little fuzz.

It seems to work great! I played with various ways to ignore and
couldn't make it fail.  

One thing, and I know it's going back on what I asked originally, but I
wonder if file globs would be the more natural pattern matching here
than regexp?  

Either way, this will really help publishing from my messy source
directories  

Thanks!
