If you are automating something that uses xargs to drive addition to the index, and the feeder to xargs knows better than .gitignore files, then probably your script should be using '-f' unconditionally. So I do not see why you would think #2 could be a bug. -- 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
