Output
------
show files just outputs the filename unless '--stage' is specified in
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 the porcelain) to see what should eventually be recorded at the
-path. (see read-cache for more information on state)
+path. (see git-read-tree for more information on state)
Exclude Patterns
These exclude patterns come from these places:
- (1) command line flag --exclude=<pattern> specifies a single
+ 1. command line flag --exclude=<pattern> specifies a single
pattern.
- (2) command line flag --exclude-from=<file> specifies a list of
+ 2. command line flag --exclude-from=<file> specifies a list of
patterns stored in a file.
- (3) command line flag --exclude-per-directory=<name> specifies
+ 3. command line flag --exclude-per-directory=<name> specifies
a name of the file in each directory 'git-ls-files'
examines, and if exists, its contents are used as an
additional list of patterns.
- 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
