More Quartus source-control questions

[Altera_Forum]

Is there an easy way to separate user files from files generated by Quartus? We have some user .bdf and .v files and also some wizard-generated .v files in the Quartus project directory. SOPC Builder and Quartus generate a lot of additional .v files and I don't know how to keep them separate so we know which files are which. 

 For CVS I could set ignore flags but it would almost have to be on a file-by-file basis since you can't simply exclude on an file-extension basis.  Anyone have a good approach to keep things nice and clean?  Thanks, Andrew

I use subversion and mark as versioned only files generated by me, there is no automatic inclusion of new files from a versioned directory. I do not know CVS very well, but doesnt it provide the same functionality.

I found a way to keep it very clean. I am using RCS, and I made a batch file to check out all the necessary files, and none of the extraneous files. 

Basically, I make a new directory, and into it I check out: -All .vhd files I created -All .vhd files created by the MegaWizard -.ptf file  -.qpf file -.qsf file -.cof file (you might not have one of these, I find it helpful in making .pof&#39;s) If you have custom components in your SOPC system it gets a little tricky. This thread was useful to me: http://forum.niosforum.com/forum/index.php...wtopic=5067&hl= (http://forum.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5067&hl=) Also, by default, files checked out are read only, so I have to change the permissions on some files.  This system is also nice because I keep the version control repository on a network drive, which is backed up, and I check things out to my local drive, which is faster.  Naturally, I have to update my batch file whenever I create new files, or stop using old files, but that&#39;s not too bad.  -Brian
