[git-users] Git Ignore File

[Konstantin Khomoutov]

Isn't the manual page you linked to absolutely explicit about why your pattern 
does not match anywhere in the directory tree? It even gives an example.

For further details, google for man+3+fnmatch and read on its behaviour.

If you need the pattern to match anywhere in the tree, prepend "**/" without 
the quotes to it.

[git-users] Git Ignore File

[ak1155]

Looking at the gitignore docs (https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore), why 
wouldn't "Documentation/*.html" match "tools/perf/Documentation/perf.html"?
  I was under the impression the pattern would match a pathname anywhere in 
the tree.
