That makes it sound as if you would need a patch to fix your editor or whatever you are using for copy/paste, rather than git, no? I do not personally have need to ignore paths whose names end with whitespaces, and I do not think anybody with such a need is sane, so in that sense your patch would be less harmful than the purist in me finds issues in it ;-) But it changes the documented behaviour that requires documentation updates, yes? -- 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
