Hi,
the gitignore rules work so that if a directory is ignored, all files
in that directory are ignored. While that behavior isn't clearly
documented in gitignore, this behavior is consistent across all git
tools (status, ls-files, ...).
An exception is that listing the ignored files using ls-files -i
doesn't behave the same way.
example:
$ mkdir d
$ touch d/f
$ echo /d/ .gitignore
$ git ls-files -o --exclude-standard
.gitignore #d/f is correctly not listed
$ git ls-files -i --exclude-standard
#no output
d/f isn't listed even though it is treated as an ignored file by all
other git tools. That seems inconsistent to me. Is that behavior
intentionally or is this a bug?
It is listed with git ls-files -i -o --exclude-standard. The
documentation says:
Show only ignored files in the output. When showing files in the
index, print only those matched by an exclude pattern. When showing
other files, show only those matched by an exclude pattern.
If you do this then it is shown:
$ git add -f d/f
$ git ls-files -i --exclude-standard
d/f
I think this is working as documented.
