Hi Linus,
Please pull the following Keselftest update for Linux 5.6-rc5.
This Kselftest update for Linux 5.6-rc5 consists of a cleanup patch
to undo changes to global .gitignore that added selftests/lkdtm
objects and add them to a local selftests/lkdtm/.gitignore.
Summary of Linus's comments on local vs. global gitignore scope:
- Keep local gitignore patterns in local files.
- Put only global gitignore patterns in the top-level gitignore file.
Local scope keeps things much better separated. It also incidentally
means that if a directory gets renamed, the gitignore file continues
to work unless in the case of renaming the actual files themselves that
are named in the gitignore.
Diff is attached.
I took the liberty to include summary of your comments on local vs
global gitignore scope in the commit message.
thanks,
-- Shuah
