This should match all files in directories one level deeper than the directory where .gitattributes live: If there is a separator at the beginning or middle (or both) of the pattern, then the pattern is relative to the directory level of the particular .gitignore file itself. > What happens if you replace "*/*" with "*" like this. > * text=auto eol=crlf Same result, but when I commit .gitattributes, I get a warning that git will do lf->crl conversion. But even after commit, no conversion is done and git-ls-files still shows: i/lf w/lf attr/text=auto eol=crlf gt8/ETS/Projekte/.gitignore Only after removal followed by "git reset --hard", I get: i/lf w/lfcr attr/text=auto eol=crlf gt8/ETS/Projekte/.gitignore > > # > > # those are known to be text=crlf > > */B text eol=crlf > > */P-* text eol=crlf > Same here. What is B ? Is it a directory ? No. It is one of the XML files I want to smudge+clean -- Josef Wolf jw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
