I know it's an absolute path, but, no, I said git clean -n \*.vcproj on Windows, which the MinGW port internally transforms into git clean -n /*.vcproj (which was not exactly what I meant, but that's a different story). And this also reports, just like on Linux: fatal: oops in prep_exclude There remain the questions whether we want to do something about absolute paths in general or this oops in particular. -- Hannes
