Adding a renamed file to git claims that it is ignored, but git check-ignore returns no results. I can’t find anything relevant in .git/info/exclude either, or any of the .gitignore files I could find. git check-ignore .\Source\UI\Website\LiveFeeds\Releases\IO\ReleasesSerializer.cs git add .\Source\ui\Website\LiveFeeds\Releases\io\ReleasesSerializer.cs The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files: Source/ui/Website/LiveFeeds/Releases/io/ReleasesSerializer.cs Use -f if you really want to add them. I get a similar result for adding files in that directory, or the parent directory (releases), but the grandparent directory (livefeeds) works fine. Any ideas what might be causing this?

Any ideas what might be causing this? I notice that your "add" and "check-ignore" commands differ in the case of "UI". I think both commands should work correctly when on a case-insensitive filesystem (and a few checks I did after setting core.ignorecase manually seem to confirm this). But maybe try it with "ui" in the check-ignore command and see if that changes anything? Another thing I notice is that you're using Windows-style back-slashes for the path separators (whereas internally in Git, everything is front-slashes). AFAIK that's supposed to work everywhere on Windows, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are corner cases where it doesn't. Does switching to: git check-ignore ./Source/ui/Website/LiveFeeds/Releases/IO/ReleasesSerializer.cs help? -Peff ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I'm now able to find the relevant line in the .gitignore file.
