Output

For an unmerged path, instead of recording a single mode/SHA1 pair,
the dircache records up to three such pairs; one from tree O in stage
1, A in stage 2, and B in stage 3. This information can be used by
-the user (or Cogito) to see what should eventually be recorded at the
-path. (see read-cache for more information on state)

Exclude Patterns

Each pattern in the pattern list specifies "a match pattern" and

considered excluded or included. A filename is matched against
the patterns in the three lists; the --exclude-from list is
checked first, then the --exclude-per-directory list, and then
- otherwise, it is a shell glob pattern, suitable for
consumption by fnmatch(3) with FNM_PATHNAME flag. I.e. a
slash in the pattern must match a slash in the pathname.
- "Documentation/*.html" matches "Documentation/git.html" but
+ "Documentation/\*.html" matches "Documentation/git.html" but
not "ppc/ppc.html". As a natural exception, "/*.c" matches
"cat-file.c" but not "mozilla-sha1/sha1.c".
An example:
+--------------------------------------------------------------
$ cat .git/ignore
# ignore objects and archives, anywhere in the tree.
*.[oa]
--exclude='Documentation/*.[0-9]' \
--exclude-from=.git/ignore \
--exclude-per-directory=.gitignore
