Subject: Specifying excludesfile in a portable way?
Date: Wed, 23 Dec 2009 19:45:14 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1a04eebf0912231945l3235bc4dpdd8c541feef9bdd3@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I have specify an excludesfile in my ~/.gitconfig:

  [core]
      excludesfile = /Users/fynn/.gitexcludes

This works fine for my OS X workstation. But when I sync this
.gitconfig to our Linux server, the excludesfile is ignored because my
home directory there is /home/fynn.

Is there a way to specify that in a portable way?  I tried both
~/.gitexcludes and $HOME/.gitexcludes; neither worked on any platform.

git version on both platforms is 1.6.4

Thanks,
Fynn
