Subject: git ignore logic does not work as advertised
Date: Sat, 15 Jun 2013 18:18:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1766682.Es1SNxTkk2@x121e> (raw)

Hi,

I'm using vcsh[1] to have my dotfiles in GIT. With that I use a .gitignore file 
referenced by core.excludesfile that looks like this:

# ignore everything by default
*

# but do not ignore emacs stuff
!.emacs.d/

# but than again please ignore backup files inside the .emacs.d folder
.emacs.d/backups

Now I'd expect git status to show everything in .emacs.d but not to show 
.emacs.d/backups. However the .emacs.d/backups folder is still shown in git 
status. I'd say that this is not in line with the man page and might be 
considered a bug.

Thank you,
