Subject: submodule add -f errs on un-ignored path
Date: Sat, 7 Jan 2012 16:59:50 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <jeaip7$meo$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)
git submodule add tells me to use -f because the path is ignored in
gitconfig (even though I un-ignored it in .git/info/exclude), but with -f it
give usage error. (git 1.7.1) Is this rejection by git intentional or
unexpected? (This is my first foray into submodules.)
/etc/gitconfig is set to excludesfile that ignores: "WebPortal/Images/"
entry
local .git/info/exclude is set to un-ignore it:
cat .git/info/exclude
!WebPortal/Images/
!WebPortal/Images
!WebPortal\/Images\/
!WebPortal\/Images
!WebPortal\/Images/
$ git submodule add file:///home/me/super/Images.git WebPortal/Images
Adding existing repo at 'WebPortal/Images' to the index
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
WebPortal/Images
Use -f if you really want to add them.
fatal: no files added
Failed to add submodule 'WebPortal/Images'
$ git submodule add -f file:///home/me/super/Images.git WebPortal/Images
Usage: git submodule [--quiet] add [-b branch] [--reference <repository>]
[--] <
repository> [<path>]
or: git submodule [--quiet] status [--cached] [--recursive] [--]
[<path>...]
or: git submodule [--quiet] init [--] [<path>...]
or: git submodule [--quiet] update [--init] [-N|--no-fetch] [--rebase]
[--ref
erence <repository>] [--merge] [--recursive] [--] [<path>...]
or: git submodule [--quiet] summary [--cached|--files] [--summary-limit
<n>]
[commit] [--] [<path>...]
or: git submodule [--quiet] foreach [--recursive] <command>
or: git submodule [--quiet] sync [--] [<path>...]
v/r,
