Is there a way I can get git-format-patch to ignore specific files? Specifically, I want it to ignore .gitmodules. This file is changed whenever a submodule is added or removed, but I don't want git format-patch to pick it up. I already specify --ignore-submodules, so I was expecting format-patch to ignore *everything* related to sobmodules. Perhaps --ignore-submodules should also ignore any changes to .gitmodules? (Why is .gitmodules not in the .git directory, anyway?) -- Timur Tabi Linux kernel developer at Freescale -- 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
