However, Deluge saves state-information in certain .conf files. For example, {{{blocklist.conf}}} contains information on when the blocklist was last updated and how many entries it contains. {{{Web.conf}}} for some reason actually stores the current sessions and {{{labels.conf}}} stores torrent hashes with their label association. Though this information is useful it makes it impossible to version Deluge configuration files as every so often git will see the file as changed without it containing actual configuration changes, only state changes. I'd like to propose to split off this state information into {{{state/file.conf}}} and keep the actual configuration files in {{{.conf/deluge}}} as static as possible. I'm willing to work on a patch for this myself as long as one of the developers thinks this makes sense so I don't do work that will never get merged." feature-request new minor 2.x Core master
