[pacman-dev] [PATCH] repo-add: anchor exclusion pattern when generating filelist

[Dan McGee]

Fixes FS#24534 where dotfiles, such as /etc/skel/.bash_profile, were not
being included in generated files entries. bsdtar --exclude option
supports anchors on the pattern, so using "^.*" instead of ".*" solves
our problem and still excludes all root-level dotfiles (e.g. .PKGINFO).
