Subject: .gitignore does not ignore Makefile
Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2016 09:19:22 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAOZdJXWpcSZ+jAoV8HttkaB7Fh=wzWDTCsHy8W-S9xOOBodVFw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I have the following .gitignore file in patch arm/arm64/boot/dts:

*.dtb
qcom
qcom.orig

When I do a git status, I see this:

    modified:   .gitignore
    modified:   qcom/Makefile

All of the other files in arm/arm64/boot/dts/qcom are being ignored,
as request.  However, the file "Makefile" is not being ignored.  Why?
What's so special about "Makefile" that git refuses to ignore it?
