GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 575018
giggle's browser ignores files that match .gitignore even when they're explicitly part of the repo
Last modified: 2020-11-11 19:39:49 UTC
Steps to reproduce: - have a generic .gitignore filter, e.g. *.pdf - add a PDF to your repo: git add -f my.pdf The added PDF does not appear in Giggle's browse view.
Giggle also seems to not deal with the "!" prefix in .gitignore From man gitignore: An optional prefix ! which negates the pattern; any matching file excluded by a previous pattern will become included again. Test case from http://askubuntu.com/questions/52355/why-does-giggle-ignore-more-than-gitignore mkdir test – Make a directory for testing. cd test git init – Initialize a git project. echo -e '/*\n!*.tex' > .gitignore – Create a .gitignore file. echo -e "test" > test.tex – Write something to test.tex. git add . git commit -m "First commit" – Commit what's written to test.tex. echo -e "\test" >> test.tex – Write something more to test.tex. git add . git commit -m "Second commit" – Commit what's written to test.tex. Check the project in Giggle. There is no file to be viewed in the project.
Mass-fixing incorrect QA contact scheme for giggle so interested people can follow its development. (See 564922#c1 for ref.)
