Better name for metadata file #35

Closed mcandre closed 8 years ago

mcandre commented 9 years ago

symbol-gen stores symbols in a file with a very generic name, tags, that is difficult to ignore in version control (many projects will have a file or folder called tags that they do want to include).

Please consider renaming the symbols file to something more VCS friendly, such as .tags.

There you go: add -f .friedly-name to your .ctags file.

-f tagfile

Use the name specified by tagfile for the tag file (default is "tags", or "TAGS" when running in etags mode). If tagfile is specified as "−", then the tag file is written to standard output instead.

Nah, nevermind. It's hardcoded in #L61. My bad.

now using ".tags"
