I have this in my .gitignore: ./*.js I would expect that to cause git to ignore .js files in the same folder as .gitignore, but it doesn't do anything. However, this works: /*.js I'm not sure what this actually means because a leading slash is the root of some filesystem, and we're not in the root, nor do gitignore files always exist in the root of a git repo. Being able to have ./*.js in .gitignore would make much sense. /#!/JoePea -- 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
