 Brendon Baumgartner reports:

 {{{
 I setup the config for Path = C:\ and Path = C: and I wasn't able to do
 a compare -a -q.

 Looking at the logs, it seems things get hung up on permission/access
 errors. Is it possible to have compare skip the files that error so that
 it does work? Errors are below.

 Currently in my configs, I have path=C:\ and then setup exclusions.

 query > compare -q -a
