Subject: gitignore + commit with excludes = bug
Date: Sat, 1 May 2021 21:37:52 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAGKR6vKwojz8_bs9oRasQPCamZJ-4mrmBKBZQCJKhX=8w+SzDg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
I stumbled upon what I believe is a bug in git.
See the following reproduction steps:
mkdir test
cd test
git init
echo 1 > ignored
echo 1 > not-ignored
echo ignored > .gitignore
git add -A -- ':!ignored' || echo 'ERROR!!!'
In these steps, I ignore the "ignored" file twice - first time in
.gitignore, and second time in the "git add" command. I didn't expect
this to be a problem, but I'm getting the following error message:
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
ignored
It looks as if git thinks I wanted to include, not exclude "ignored"
in "git add".
