Do .gitignore files have the same format as .cvsignore?
The format is the same, but while cvsignore files currently list a few
dozen files, the proposed gitignore would list all files that are ever
build anywhere.
The charter of the .cvsignore files is to ignore files that are not in
the repository but are nonetheless left behind after "make distclean".
Any git-oriented replacement should behave the same IMO.
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.
Use a vpath build, and you'll keep those artifacts out of your source tree.
