Something like this? #!/bin/sh rm -rf test mkdir -p test/a/b/c cd test git init-db date >a/vmlinux.1 date >a/b/vmlinux.2 date >a/b/c/vmlinux.3 echo 'vmlinux*' >a/.gitignore echo '!/vmlinux*' >a/b/.gitignore git status -u - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
