Thanks! That's helped! Regards, Alex On Wednesday, June 13, 2012 11:34:33 AM UTC+4, Thomas Ferris Nicolaisen wrote: Hi Alexander, Aha, I see. No, keeping a certain set of files from being merged is not possible in any straight forward way. It is usually a sign that your code does not have quite the right structure for its task. Basically, code that you don't want to be merged along with the rest of your changes should somehow be kept outside the current Git repository. Let's say your project is called funky, and you want to keep the code excluded from merging in a separate repo called funky-private: ├── funky │ └── stuff.txt └── funky-private └── TODO.txt Once you get your private code (that is, your TODO.txt) file into funky-private, you can pick some way of including it into the first one during development, build, or run-time like this: ├── funky │ ├── private - ../funky-private │ │ └── TODO.txt │ └── stuff.txt └── funky-private └── TODO.txt Either use some way of linking in the directoryhttp://superuser.com/questions/234422/does-windows7-support-symbolic-links-folder-shortcuts, copy it in using some script, and then ignore this folder (here called * private*) in funky/.gitignore. Or use submodules as suggested in that thread on stackoverflow you mentioned. It depends on your workflow, and what you persona preferences. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

[git-users] Re: excludesfile on Windows
Dear Thomas, thanks for reply. I'm aware of .gitignore. Originally my task was to avoid some files to be merged from one branch to another. Git is working with commits. So excludesfile as well as .gitignore won't help to exclude some files. Lately I found http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8721984/git-ignore-files-for-public-repository-but-not-for-privatedescribing the same problem I have and a solution to it. Do you know any better way to solve this? Nevertheless excludesfile doesn't work as I expect :( Alex On Sunday, June 10, 2012 5:44:20 PM UTC+4, Thomas Ferris Nicolaisen wrote: Hi, Just checking here, are you aware of the normal way of excluding files with .gitignore files? I see you have one there in your working directory but maybe you haven't made use of it yet. The .git/info/excludes is more for the case where *you* want to ignore something, but don't want to share this configurations with others cloning the repository. The nice thing with .gitignore files is that they can be checked into specific branches, thereby avoiding your problems. Try this: git checkout master echo TODO.txt .gitignore git add .gitignore git commit -m Ignoring TODO text files I don't believe they work differently on Windows 7, but if you still can't get it working, I can fire up Windows here and figure it out. If you still want to do it using the excludes file, there's a writeup on how to do it here: http://cogniton-mind.tumblr.com/post/1423976659/howto-gitignore-for-different-branches And the official docs on: http://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore On Sunday, June 10, 2012 2:52:14 PM UTC+2, Alexander Myltsev wrote: Good day!
