For instance it reports _vim_ creating a file called `4913` to verify the target directory's writability as well as the creation of various temporary backup files.

While this is certainly interesting for debugging purposes it hinders the library's goal of providing a higher level summary consisting primarily of the actions the user explicity performed such as the changed file contents. To solve this problem one may provide a list of regular expressions to be matched against the file paths via the `CHANGE_LOG_IGNORE_PATTERN_PATH` environment variable. |
