In my case globs would be too limited. I'm using negative look-ahead assertions to match only branches/tags for projects that are interesting to me. With globs it's not possible AFAIK (I would have to specify all ignored patterns by hand which would work only for known patterns): ignore-paths = ^path/branches/(?!proj1|proj2) >> Michael Olson <mwolson@xxxxxxx> writes: >> > Re-sent by request of Piotr Krukowiecki.

I don't know it also happens without the patch... M ... r216099 = 4d16d4890915f4c02ba541956957a4e4b4bed400 (refs/remotes/proj2/proj2-branch9) Auto packing the repository for optimum performance.

I wonder why it tried to set master to proj1? Is my command ok? I want to have both proj1 and proj2 under one git repository. -- Piotr Krukowiecki -- 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
