I have a machine with git version 1.7.8.msysgit.0 and the following syntax in .git/info/sparse-checkout file works fine: /* !engine/testdata/scenarios This syntax does not seem to work with 1.9.5.msysgit.0 version. I have tried to alter the syntax based on some suggestions on the internet, but none of the combinations work. Git still attempts to checkout the directory that I do not want. Does anyone know what syntax works for version 1.9.5.msysgit.0 ? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/sparse-checkout-syntax-does-not-work-in-git-version-1-9-5-msysgit-0-tp7625887.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
