Re: [git-users] GitIgnore Not including folders again

[Dale R. Worley]

 From: Rik Svendsen Rose rik.s.r...@gmail.com

 The folder that i want included is:
 02 Microsoft SQL Server/xxx/MSSQL/Backup
 
 
 I have tried adding into my .gitignore folder:
  
 02 Microsoft SQL Server/**/
 !02 Microsoft SQL Server/**/Backup

I don't think that Unix-style shell globs define ** to mean
anything.  Or rather, it has the same meaning as * -- any sequence
of characters not including /.

Have you tried

!02 Microsoft SQL Server/xxx/MSSQL/Backup

There are further complexities of .gitignore that you might be able to
exploit:  If the line starts with /, then the pattern must describe
the file's pathname starting from the current directory.  But if the
line does not start with /, the pattern may match starting in any
subdirectory.  Thus, including *.bak causes any file ending in
.bak to be ignored, no matter what subdirectory directory it is in.
That means that you might be able to use !MSSQL/Backup to un-ignore
the directories you are interested in.

[git-users] GitIgnore Not including folders again

[Rik Svendsen Rose]

Hi

I Am trying to add an ignor exception in a gitignore file. 

The folder i dont want is:
02 Microsoft SQL Server/

The folder that i want included is:
02 Microsoft SQL Server/xxx/MSSQL/Backup


I have tried adding into my .gitignore folder:
 
02 Microsoft SQL Server/**/
!02 Microsoft SQL Server/**/Backup

and
02 Microsoft SQL Server/**/*
!02 Microsoft SQL Server/**/Backup/**/*

and 
02 Microsoft SQL Server/**/*
!.bak


But the ignore exception (i.e. the re include is not working :-( ) 

Any ideas?
