List of directories containing only ignored files

List of directories containing only ignored files

[Marcin Wiśnicki]

What's the easiest way to find all directories that contain only
ignored files but are not ignored themselves.

For example, given following .gitignore:

  obj/

and following files:

  /project1/foo.c
  /project1/obj/foo.o
  /project2/obj/bar.o

Where /project2 contains leftovers from different branch that are not
cleared on switch because they are ignored.

I would like to see:

  /project2


Alternatively: how to remove such leftovers when switching branches ?

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.

That also would delete /project1/obj/foo.o which is not what I wanted.

Anyway I think I have found the answer:

 git ls-files -o --directory --exclude-standard
