Thanks for that. :) Now, I've added the archive to my toolbar for future checking. The full text follows (without HTML tags; I had used {raw}). Currently, the top level .gitignore (of LilyPond's repository) contains this pattern: build/ I found no pattern negating this, in any .gitignore file (at any directory level). Currently, the repository on the server contains files (see below) which match this pattern. Because of this, Git will ignore changes to those files. Therefore: * Should the pattern be changed to /build/ , so it doesn't match the files? * Should the matching files be removed? * Should the .gitignore pattern be deleted? * (If the present, peculiar situation is exactly what is desired, then) should the top level .gitignore include some comment explaining it? The following files match the pattern in the top-level .gitignore: $ find scripts/build | sort scripts/build scripts/build/GNUmakefile scripts/build/pl scripts/build/pl/help2man.pl scripts/build/pl/mf2pt1.pl scripts/build/py scripts/build/py/bib2texi.py scripts/build/py/catmidi.py scripts/build/py/create-version-itexi.py scripts/build/py/create-weblinks-itexi.py scripts/build/py/extract_texi_filenames.py scripts/build/py/gen-emmentaler-scripts.py scripts/build/py/genicon.py scripts/build/py/grand-replace.py scripts/build/py/html-to-texi.py scripts/build/py/install.py scripts/build/py/lilypond-words.py scripts/build/py/lys-to-tely.py scripts/build/py/makesnippets.py scripts/build/py/make-version.py scripts/build/py/mass-link.py scripts/build/py/mf-to-table.py scripts/build/py/output-distance.py scripts/build/py/pytt.py scripts/build/py/relative.py scripts/build/py/texi2omf.py scripts/build/py/text2html.py scripts/build/py/website_post.py scripts/build/py/www_post.py scripts/build/py/yyout2grammar.py scripts/build/sh scripts/build/sh/install-info-html.sh scripts/build/sh/run-and-check.sh scripts/build/txt scripts/build/txt/website-known-missing-files.txt $ du -ch `find scripts/build` 284K total -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/build-gitignore-pattern-matches-files-in-repo-tp179867p179871.html Sent from the Bugs mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
