git add single file and git add list of files behave differentely for ignored files
Hello, I reported this issue on the git-user mailing list and they redirected me here. The problem I have observed is that with a ignored path `git add single file` behaves differently then `git add list of files`. I my git/info/excludes file i have /COM/config !COM/config/Project.gny The file COM/config/Project.gny has already been added to the repository via `git add -f`. When doing git add -- COM/config/Projec.gny git will not complain but when doing git add -- COM/config/Project.gny otherfiles.c it will report: The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files: COM/config Use -f if you really want to add them. fatal: no files added This odd behaviour is also present in `git check-ignore`. Before adding the file `git check-ignore` correctly reports the file as ignored. After having added it via `git add -f` it won't report it as ignored anymore. Even if not a bug this behaviour is inconsistent and might want to be addressed as it makes scripting a little bit harder.

I found that behaviour surprising. There's already a patch which, in the 2nd case, would make git add only warn you about the ignored file but add the other one anyways. It will probably make its way into the next release. For the case of a single file (or rather: ignored files only) I'm wondering whether we should issue a warning, too. This odd behaviour is also present in `git check-ignore`. Before adding the file `git check-ignore` correctly reports the file as ignored. After having added it via `git add -f` it won't report it as ignored anymore. This is different: Once a file is added, it is not ignored any more - you explicitely told git to track that file (rather than ignoring it). So, the output of git check-ignore is correct. Even if not a bug this behaviour is inconsistent and might want to be addressed as it makes scripting a little bit harder. Thank you. I guess you want git check-ignore --no-index. That man page may be a bit misleading - the description sounds as if only the patterns would matter.
