The option in question is the -e option to 'git clean', which allows you to add entries to the "ignore" list. What we want it for is to make 'git clean -X' not delete a certain file. If this becomes unresolvable for you, though, there are other ways to work around this from the buildbot-side. Aside from what I said earlier, it seems like we could hack around this a bit more with something like: mv .buildbot.sourcedata $foo && git clean && mv $foo .buildbot.sourcedata If we really need to. > I'd prefer not to override git versions since that means no support > from RedHat if something w.r.t. it or its support libraries breaks. I don't think OpenAFS itself is too concerned with official support for it. If you could install a local version that is just used by buildbot or something, it sounds like that would be good enough for us and shouldn't impact anything else. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
