They were being added to the all of the Xorg repos; I just aided in completing that trend. (As I recall, I didn't touch the active drivers with any of those wide, janitorial commits.) Patch(1) and various emacsen are widely enough used by the devs that it still feels more appropriate to have them in the .gitignore files. At least until someone can show an example of a file we would legitimately want in one or more of the repos which has a filename ending in a tilde. And finally, I'm not sure the ~/.gitconfig support for excludesfile even existed at the time of those commits. -JimC -- James Cloos <[email protected]> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
