Description

This allow to keep files in the add-on folders. Not only user_files

README

Keep files not in add-on folder not in user files

Rationale

I want to keep a .git folder in my add-on folder, and still be able to update my add-ons. When an add-on is updated, the entire content of the add-on's folder is deleted, which means that .git is deleted too.

This add-on ensure that some files are keep. By default it's user_files (as by default in anki), .git, .gitignore and .svn.

Configuration

You can add or remove some files/folder to keep.

Internal

This change the methods aqt.addons.AddonManager.backupUserFiles and aqt.addons.AddonManager.restoreUserFiles.
