GNU Stow - is there any way to add file extensions to .stow-global-ignore or .stow-local-ignore files? I want `stow` to ignore certain files, like `*.bak` and `*.tmp`, but I cannot seem to be able to add wildcards and get them to work. I have tried: *.bak *.tmp \*.bak \*.tmp I suppose wildcards are not supported? Is there any way to do this?

Ignore lists contain Perl regular expressions, which are ERE with extra features.


.*\.(bak|tmp)


Note that the regular expression must match the whole file name (with or without the directory part — see the manual for details), not just a part of it (as is the case with the more common case of regular expression searches), so this does not match e.g. `foo.bakmore`, whereas `\.bak` would only match a file called exactly `.bak`.
