Pattern-based exceptions in .gitignore not working · Issue #3224 · libgit2/libgit2 (original) (raw)

Example case:

*.data
!dont_ignore/*.data

Then add a couple files in the workdir: foo.data and dont_ignore/bar.data.

git_diff_index_to_workdir() will correctly ignore foo.data but incorrectly also ignore dont_ignore/bar.data.

Note that the .gitignore file is working as expected when testing with git status --ignored.
