Description

I have a folder called "CVS" that refuses to index. I've removed the ignoredNames property from the configuration file and they just get added right back when I re-index.

Why do they add themselves back in? How do I index a folder called "CVS" ?

lines removed from configuration.xml file:

     <void method="add">
      <string>CVS</string>
     </void>
     <void method="add">
      <string>CVSROOT</string>
     </void>

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the code that resets ignoredNames during re indexing, likely in the indexer or configuration loading logic. Trace where 'CVS' is added back after removal from configuration.
