Subject: git archive ignores .gitignored files?
Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 12:32:06 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070726173206.GR21692@lavos.net> (raw)
git archive seems to not output files marked in .gitignore. I find
this behavior a little perplexing, since it does not create an archive
from the working directory, and if something is committed, even if it
is marked in .gitignore, it should probably wind up in the archive.
The reason I discovered this is that I'm trying to keep a debian build
branch for Git, and the debain/git-daemon directory was mysteriously
missing from anything generated with git archive, as "git-daemon" is
in Git's /.gitignore.
Is this intended behavior? It seems kind of a misfeature to me.
(Of course it's possible /.gitarchive should have "/git-daemon" rather
than "git-daemon"; that's certainly how I will work around the issue.)
