I am a mailing list noob so I’m sorry if this is the wrong format or
the wrong please.

Here’s the setup for the bug (I will call it a bug but I half expect
somebody to tell me I’m an idiot):

git init
echo "/A/B/" > .gitignore
git add .gitignore && git commit -m 'Add ignore'
mkdir -p A/B
touch A/B/C
git status
git clean -dn

(my client may have screwed up the quotes, please bear with me)

Now, this may just be a case of me misunderstanding the behavior of
.gitignore, and that’s fine, but to me, git clean -dn should roughly
reflect the same behavior as git status as far as ignored files go. As
it is, git status does NOT report A/B/C as an untracked file, but git
clean will remove the entire A dir. It seems to me that one or the
other’s behavior ought to be tweaked. Which one is correct I am not
sure.

This happens on 2.5.1 as well as 2.9.2

Chris
