[git-users] exclude a subdirectory in sparse-checkout
Hi all, I'm trying to exclude a new subdirectory that was added by someone else. in my $GITDIR/info/sparse-checkout file, I have: /web/ Now, I want to exclude the /web/tests/ subdirectory. So I changed my file to: /web/ !/web/tests/ but this does not work. After calling git read-tree -m -u HEAD the subdirectory /web/tests is still present. If I change to: /web/ !tests the /web/tests subdirectory does disappear, but this may exclude possible 'tests' directory under any other subdirectories that I may want to keep. Is it possible to do what I want? Thanks. H. --

Try to use git rm -r /web/tests to remove the directory from your git project.
