If project or directory belongs to more than one GIT_DIR then some of the GIT_DIR's may need a different .gitignore files, it would be useful if one could define it independently, e.g. in GIT_DIR/config:
[core] ignorefilename = .gitalternateignore Has anyone considered making the .gitignore filename configurable? It could be in a config file or env variable, but either way it would be handy to be configurable. I'm not familiar with git's structure, but if ignoring is only used in git-add then I suppose I could make own git-add script if this is not implemented in core git. I intend to use GIT as a rsync replica (or Dropbox replica) cause it suits it better than rsync, since GIT doesn't have to check all files each time I sync (and GIT can contain versions / backups, works better on Windows and has a simpler needs for the server), more about why I need this: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/git-users/E-Au9P0A6NA/discussion%5B1-25-false%5D - Jari -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
