Hi, having 'linux' line in .gitignore makes 'include/linux/vga_switcheroo.h' to be ignored though the documentation says: *** If the pattern does not contain a slash /, git treats it as a shell glob pattern and checks for a match against the pathname without leading directories. *** $ touch test $ touch include/linux/vga_asdads.h $ git ls-files -o --exclude-from=test include/linux/vga_asdads.h test $ echo linux >test $ git ls-files -o --exclude-from=test test This does not happen with git 1.6. thanks, -- js -- 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
