Subject: clean bug on ignored subdirectories with no tracked files?
Date: Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:38:24 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAG+J_Dxw00e_cr7i3R9DAbTrqZvJHYk2yeUa=xGKh+Zqqmp-SA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

git init test_repo &&
cd test_repo &&
mkdir -p foo/bar &&
echo baz > foo/bar/baz &&
echo /foo/bar > .gitignore &&
git add .gitignore &&
git clean -n -d

Initialized empty Git repository in .../test_repo/.git/
Would remove foo/

Seems surprising. The work-around is either using '/foo' in the
top-level .gitignore or adding a tracked file to the 'foo' directory.
