Well, for now what could be done is something like CVS does. It has some
defaults and more than one place to read patterns from, but whenever it reads
a special pattern '!', it discards all the patterns read so far. Which would
be pretty easy to implement and go with it until the -- indeed very involved
-- versioned data stuff gets implemented.
