Hi All, I have an source directory, which in turn has some other directories too. I do not want to track one of these directories. So i added the directory name in .gitignore as well as in .git/info/exclude for my repo. i.e i have added following line to both of them - xen-3.1.0-src/ I copied xen-3.1.0-src from archives in the git repo's base directory. Now when i do a git-status i get # On branch master # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # xen-3.1.0-src/ nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) Why is git seeing xen-3.1.0-src directory at all? Is this the expected behaviour? I thought i should not get this message after adding relevant entries in .gitignore or in info/exclude . What am i doing wrong here? Is there a way that this can be done without having to witness this message everytime i do a git status? Please CC me as I am not subscribed to the list.
