Subject: git clean -X behaviour when .gitignore has sub-directory entries
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 2010 15:05:45 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C40AD89.1070005@nuecho.com> (raw)
Hi,
When using sub-directory entries in .gitignore, "git clean -X" doesn't
clean the ignored sub-directory.
$ git init test
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/jpgariep/git/test/.git/
$ cd test/
$ mkdir -p a/b/c
$ touch a/b/c/test
$ echo '/a/b/' > .gitignore
$ git add .gitignore
$ git commit -m "Added .gitignore."
[master (root-commit) 94e2825] Added .gitignore.
1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 .gitignore
$ git status
# On branch master
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
$ git clean -X -d -f
$ ls a
b
Why is b still there?
Thanks.
