> My personal vote: Forget the whole thing. The folks who are more familiar with git than I seem to be pretty clear that we need to ignore all build products. I don't think that "ignore nothing" is going to work pleasantly at all. On reflection I realize that cvs ignore and git ignore are considerably different because they come into play at different times: cvs ignore really only matters while doing "cvs update" to pull in new code, while git ignore matters while you're constructing a commit. So you really do need git ignore to ignore all build products; otherwise you'll have lots of chatter in "git status". regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
