In the documentation for .gitattributes, "[[:space:]]" is mentioned in
a code snippet but is
not documented, and neither is the glob syntax escape from the
documentation page for
.gitignore ("\ ") not working with .gitattributes.
For example, in a .gitattributes file the first glob will work, but
the second will not.
my[[:space:]]directory/**/*
my\ directory/**/*
The opposite is true with .gitignore.
I got caught up for a number of minutes trying to figure out why my
escapes weren't
working in the fancy-pants .gitattributes I whipped up, and I'd
figured it'd be worth saving
someone else the trouble. It could very well be documented somewhere
I'm not aware of
beside the code snippet, but I wasn't able to find it seldom a github
issues search, so I
think it'd be worth putting on the .gitattributes page.
PS -- Apologies for not having a diff to send to fix this, but I don't
currently have the tools
available to me.
