Hi everyone. Normally if I am tracking a file in a Directory which satisfies one of my .gitignore rules, I can just add them via "git add foo", and I have no issues.
For example, let me create a new repo. I create a directory "lib" containing file "foo.txt", and a Directory "lib2" with a file "bar.txt". I add and commit both files. Now I create a .gitignore file containing the rule "lib*/". I modify lib/foo.txt and lib2/bar.txt. I do "git status" and I'm informed that foo.txt and bar.txt are modified. So far so good. The following commands work as expected: git add lib/foo.txt git add lib2/bar.txt But if I instead do: git add lib/foo.txt lib2/bar.txt I get the following response: The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files: lib lib2 I have verified this behavior in git 1.9.3 and 2.1.0. Is this desired behavior or is it a bug? If it is desired behavior, could someone please describe the utility to me?
