Oh. Never mind. That doesn't seem useful enough to be worth spending time on. What I want is to ignore all of the build products, so that when I do 'git status' in my working tree, I only see the the files I've actually added/changed. Now that you mention it, I think I had the same complaint about the .cvsignore files back when I was using CVS. It seems like an odd charter. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
