Subject: git-ls-files in subdirectories ignore higher-up .gitignore
Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2006 12:59:30 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1138125570.24415.11.camel@dv> (raw)
Hello!
git-ls-files appears to behave in a way that may be unexpected to the
users. When run in a subdirectory, git-ls-files never reads .gitignore
or whatever is specified by --exclude-per-directory in the parent
directories.
This can be demonstrated in git's own repository:
$ touch t/test.o
$ git-ls-files --others --exclude-per-directory=.gitignore
$ cd t
$ git-ls-files --others --exclude-per-directory=.gitignore
test.o
$
Before I attempt to fix it, I'd like to make sure it's a bug, not a
feature.
