Potential bug in ls-files (version 1.7.9.5)

2014-07-07 Thread Hamilton Turner
I'd appreciate if someone could confirm that this is a bug in git, as this works
as expected with git 1.8.5.2.

I'm not sure if this 1.7.X is still supported, but I think it's still
the latest git-core available
in Ubuntu 12.04 repositories.

I'm having problems with git ls-files --others --ignored
--exclude-standard not listing some ignored files.

My project has this directory structure

.
├── aspnet
│   ├── .gitignore
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── lib
│   │   ├── lots of big stuff

My aspnet/.gitignore lists lib/*, and git add aspnet/lib/foo reports
that this path is ignored.

But git ls-files --others --ignored --exclude-standard does not list
the files under lib. These are untracked files, they do show up in
output if I do git ls-files --others, but not if I provide the ignored
flag.

With 1.8.5.2, all of the files under lib are listed if I ls-files
--ignored --others --exclude-standard

Thanks,

This was probably fixed by v1.7.11.2~12^2~5 (ls-files -i: pay
attention to exclusion of leading paths, 2012-06-01).

I haven't had much luck in the past working with the Ubuntu
maintainers to update old releases. :(

https://launchpad.net/~git-core/+archive/ppa may help if PPAs are
usable in your environment.

Thanks and hope that helps,
