This .gitignore file does not work as expected with git-check-ignore:
*.o
!a.o
It seems that “git check-ignore a.o” ignores that “a.o” was re-included. This is what happens:
$ git --version
git version 2.15.0.rc2.48.g4e40fb302
$ mkdir repo
$ cd repo
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /path/to/repo/.git/
$ echo '*.o' >.gitignore
$ echo '!a.o' >>.gitignore
$ >a.o
$ >b.o
$ git check-ignore a.o b.o
a.o
b.o
$ git status --short
?? a.o
According to git-check-ignore, “a.o” is ignored. According to git-status, it is not.
Is that a bug or did I miss something because of my limited search capabilities?
Tested on a Mac with current master from git. The 2.13.4 binary from Mac Ports exhibits the same behavior.
Thanks!
