I guess you could do that, but I added:
[include]
path = ../.gitconfigto my .git/config and I added instructions to that effect in the .gitconfig comments. If you appeded the .gitconfig to .git/config I am nos sure that the path to .bzrignore is right.
It might have to be ../.bzrignore then. Marco On 21-Jun-15 21:14, Nick Østergaard wrote:
Ahh ok, I see. So I will have to do cat .gitconfig >> .git/config to actually enable it. 2015-06-21 13:18 GMT+02:00 Marco Hess <[email protected]>:Yes, positive. I read up on it in the git documentation. The only config file that Git uses within a repository is .git/config. There is not supposed to be a config file that is part of the repository by default. It only becomes active when you manually enable it.

After some stuffing around I found it was supposed to be handled through configuring git to use the .bzringore file through a .gitconfig file. However, this was not working correctly with the = sign missing in the config file that I fixed. Also, I took the opportunity to add a bit of explantion to the .gitconfig file as to what its intention is and how to enable it correctly for the local repository.
