git archive seems to not output files marked in .gitignore. I find this behavior a little perplexing, since it does not create an archive from the working directory, and if something is committed, even if it is marked in .gitignore, it should probably wind up in the archive. The reason I discovered this is that I'm trying to keep a debian build branch for Git, and the debain/git-daemon directory was mysteriously missing from anything generated with git archive, as "git-daemon" is in Git's /.gitignore. Is this intended behavior? It seems kind of a misfeature to me. (Of course it's possible /.gitarchive should have "/git-daemon" rather than "git-daemon"; that's certainly how I will work around the issue.) -bcd - 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
