Excluding certain files from "Pending Changes"
My build process involves checking some files into the source tree currently. After a successful build, these committed files immediately show up as "Pending Changes" for the next build. These files are committed with a special "builder" account that is only used by the official build server.
I can disable build triggering successfully for these changes using the " -:user=builder:/src/*/ " syntax.
Is it possible to use this same (or similar) syntax in the checkout rules so that files committed by the "builder" user will be ignored and not shown in "Pending Changes"?
I tried using the -:user syntax but got a warning about performance that scared me off. I am having TeamCity perform the checkout on the agent. Not that I am using Subversion 1.5.x for source control.
What is the proper way to have all commits from a single user ignored from the perspective of "Pending Changes"?
Thanks,
Jeremy

Files excluded with help of checkout rules won't appear in the agent checkout directory. Is that what you need?

I don't care about what actually gets checked out on the agent. What I care about is what is displayed in the web UI.
I don't want the web UI to report any files as changed in the "Pending Changes" of the UI for a specific user. I basically want files from a specific user ignored and not displayed from the perspective of the "Pending Changes" display.
Does that make sense?
Is there a way to accomplish this?
Is there any way to accomplish this?
Thanks!

Hello,
I could NOT find the issue TW-6056 in the issue tracker. Was this issue resolved or if anyone can point me to the youtrack number to follow this issue?

Please ignore the earlier message, the fix is available in TC 4.5.x builds. We can use "Trigger Patterns" to exclude certain file from "Pending Changes"
