I just started using git (yes, newbie ;) and hit a problem that i cant
seem to solve.
Is there a way where I could specify a pattern in .git/info/exclude that
would make git ignore directories.
Suppose I had in each of my project's sub-directories a directory called
'IGNORE/', how do I make git ignore this directory (and all it's
contents)?
I tried putting in
IGNORE/*
but this only takes care of the directory in the root dir. Then I tried
*/IGNORE/*
which doesn't work for dirs at >1 depth. I did read gitignore man page
(and it looks impossible .. ):
So, is there any way I can do this without adding a gitignore file in
each of my sub-directories?
