Comment (by catalyst):

 Replying to [comment:4 nickm]:
 > The bug is this: I thought that saying that DependencyViolation applied
 to `*` would make it apply to all files -- but practracker doesn't support
 that.  I had to say instead that it applies to `*.h` and `*.c`.
 I still didn't understand this description, so I looked into
 `practracker.py` and `problem.py`. I'm guessing that `ProblemFilter` needs
 to have its filename patterns be unambiguously denoting either `.c` or
 `.h` files. It looks like `Item.get_file_type()` determines this based on
 the suffix (`.c` or `.h`) of the file or pattern, defaulting to `*.c`. So
 maybe a pattern of `*` would match `*.c` files but not `*.h` files? Does
 this sound like an accurate description of the bug?

 > I force-pushed a new branch to fix the commit message.  I didn't change
 any code when I did so.

 think?

 > I'm not sure whether your "this" means this branch, or this bug.  I
 don't think that the bug requires a changes file, since the bug didn't
 exist in 0.4.1.  But I think that this branch needs a changes file, since
 it is a new test that wasn't there before.  Sorry I hadn't added it!  I've
 just put it in the branch.
 Thanks!
