(Please Cc on replies) I just started using git (yes, newbie ;) and hit a problem that i cant seem to solve. Is there a way where I could specify a pattern in .git/info/exclude that would make git ignore directories. Suppose I had in each of my project's sub-directories a directory called 'IGNORE/', how do I make git ignore this directory (and all it's contents)? I tried putting in IGNORE/* but this only takes care of the directory in the root dir. Then I tried */IGNORE/* which doesn't work for dirs at >1 depth. I did read gitignore man page (and it looks impossible .. ): So, is there any way I can do this without adding a gitignore file in each of my sub-directories? -jb -- Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy. - 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
