Hi, .gitignore is a flexible way to customize what dir/file to search or not to search. So it is of general use and is more flexible than what is offered by "find". I'm wondering if there is an API than I can use besides using it within git. Thanks. -- Regards, Peng -- 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
