g-o-a has autogenerated .gitignore in version control
Last modified: 2012-11-09 11:04:35 UTC
git.mk is in use but .gitignore is stored in version control. This is causing spurious diffs.
Note: this is kinda annoying because it makes jhbuild think that the module needs to be rebuilt, which also forces rebuilds of evolution-data-server, evolution, etc...
Is it just about removing (git rm) it from the version control? I do not know the details of git.mk.
Yes.
Created attachment 228516 [details] [review] .gitignore is autogenerated, remove it from version control The autogenerated .gitignore does not have the ignore rules for all these gdbus-codegen generated XML files among other things. How do I teach git.mk to take care of them? Anyway, here is the patch that removes it from version control.
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
