I do not use this feature myself, but I would think that it should respect the same DIR_SHOW_OTHER_DIRECTORIES flag (or a parallel flag) that we already hook into "--untracked={all,normal}". IOW, given: git init mkdir untracked ignored >untracked/file >ignored/file echo ignored >.git/info/exclude I would expect: $ git status --short --ignored --untracked=normal ?? untracked/ !! ignored/ $ git status --short --ignored --untracked=all ?? untracked/file !! ignored/file I do not know if anybody cares about the distinction, but optionally we could give --ignored its own selector, like: $ git status --short --ignored=all --untracked=normal ?? untracked/ !! ignored/file where obviously it would default to "none" (whereas untracked defaults to "normal"). But the behavior with Antoine's patch is: $ git status --short --ignored --untracked=normal ?? untracked/ !! ignored $ git status --short --ignored --untracked=all ?? untracked/file !! ignored which seems wrong to me for two reasons: 1. It does not recurse for ignored but untracked entries. Neither does the current code, but I think it should. 2. It loses the trailing slash from the ignored directory in both cases (which is printed by the current code). -Peff -- 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
