Hi Henry,

This will work:
    ignore = Name {*#}

Slightly unconventional, but I think it's basically just a special case of 
the documented "{a,b,c}" syntax.
If you run Unison interactively and ask it to permanently ignore a file 
(I=capital-i command), the new profile entry will have this format; that's 
how I found out about it long ago.

Hello,

What can I write in a Unison profile to ignore any file paths ending with a 
pound sign #?  I've tried the following, and none worked.

I think the tricky part is that Unison treats "#" as a special character 
for commenting in a profile.

ignore = Name *#
ignore = Name *\#
ignore = Name *[#]
ignore = Name *\\#
ignore = Name "*#"
ignore = Name *"#"

Thanks,
Henry
