Subject: Re: Bug Report: Too many untracked files (gitignore)
Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2016 17:52:33 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAMbP-nR9fE0FBaFof6ajMbDFViKwpi4iX3mD0i6cReFveOB2zw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAGZ79kYhV30AuXUKtp3oewMpnEk5vD=HvRUJTTFaEdsacu3tGw@mail.gmail.com>
The patterns in question do contain a slash, although they don't start
with a slash.
I tried changing it to "!/.vim/colors/*" as you recommended, with no
change in behavior. I even tried adding a leading slash to every
pattern in gitignore, with no effect.
Removing the line with "!/.vim/colors/*" still fixes the problem.
