Hi,
after reading though [1] and [2] again, I believe a pattern in
.gitattributes like
*/src/*/assets/**/*-expected-* text eol=lf
should match a committed file at
reporter/src/funTest/assets/NPM-is-windows-1.0.2-expected-NOTICE
In other words, "**" should be able to match "nothing", but it doesn't
seem to do in my case.
To cross-check, assuming that ls-files supports the same patterns, running
git ls-files "*/src/*/assets/**/*-expected-*"
indeed does not list the committed file at
reporter/src/funTest/assets/NPM-is-windows-1.0.2-expected-NOTICE
for me. Tested with Git 2.20 on Windows and Git 2.19.2 on Linux. Is it a
documentation error or a bug in Git?
