Subject: does "git clean" deliberately ignore "core.excludesFile"?
Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2019 10:11:53 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.21.1902231008530.28936@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

not sure why i never noticed this before, but the "-x" option for
"git clean" reads:
-x
Don’t use the standard ignore rules read from .gitignore
(per directory) and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude, but do still use
the ignore rules given with -e options. This allows
removing all untracked files, including build products.
This can be used (possibly in conjunction with git reset)
to create a pristine working directory to test a clean
build.
but i see no mention of whether the file specified by
core.excludesFile is taken into account, and perusing the source code
doesn't seem to show that command checking that config option.
am i misreading something? and if not, is there a reason git clean
does not consult core.excludesFile?
