Inside git add -i, option 4 "add untracked", it doesn't seem to consider the user's personal ignore patterns, which is _really_ annoying. E.g., I have: $ git config core.excludesfile /home/miles/.gitignore $ cat /home/miles/.gitignore [+,#]* *~ $ git status # On branch master nothing to commit (working directory clean) $ git add -i staged unstaged path *** Commands *** 1: status 2: update 3: revert 4: add untracked 5: patch 6: diff 7: quit 8: help What now> 4 1: ,l 2: ,l.~1~ 3: AUTHORS.~1~ 4: Makefile.am.~1~ 5: config.h.in~ 6: configure.ac.~1~ ...tons of other random backup files etc... This makes it very hard to find files that actually need to be added!
