If I agreed, I wouldn't have suggested _you_ to cd up and use pathspec, but instead would have suggested to patch ls-files to make it do so for you. You can see it as a feature that you can use to check what would happen if you stopped ignoring the directory from the higher level. With a patch to always cd-up and use pathspec, that will become impossible. Maybe nobody needs such a feature (I don't), in which case we can declare it as a bug. But I wasn't ready to do so myself when I wrote the message you are responding to, and I still am not. -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
