Lookie here: [torvalds@nehalem linux]$ touch drivers/char/hello.c [torvalds@nehalem linux]$ ~/git/git ls-files --exclude-standard -o drivers/char [torvalds@nehalem linux]$ git ls-files --exclude-standard -o drivers/char drivers/char/hello.c where that ~/git/git is the version with the one-liner. IOW, it now ignores _everything_, because the dir and the path don't match.
