DESCRIPTION
-----------
If a whole directory is classified as "other", show just its
name (with a trailing slash) and not its whole contents.
+--no-empty-directory::
+ Do not list empty directories. Has no effect without --directory.
+
-u|--unmerged::
Show unmerged files in the output (forces --stage)
read additional exclude patterns that apply only to the
directory and its subdirectories in <file>.
+--error-unmatch::
+ If any <file> does not appear in the index, treat this as an
+ error (return 1).
+
-t::
Identify the file status with the following tags (followed by
a space) at the start of each line:
R:: removed/deleted
C:: modified/changed
K:: to be killed
- ? other
+ ?:: other
+
+-v::
+ Similar to `-t`, but use lowercase letters for files
+ that are marked as 'always matching index'.
--full-name::
When run from a subdirectory, the command usually
option forces paths to be output relative to the project
top directory.
---::
+--abbrev[=<n>]::
+ Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object
+ lines, show only handful hexdigits prefix.
+ Non default number of digits can be specified with --abbrev=<n>.
+
+\--::
Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
<file>::
- if it does not contain a slash '/', it is a shell glob
pattern and used to match against the filename without
- leading directories (i.e. the same way as the current
- implementation).
+ leading directories.
- otherwise, it is a shell glob pattern, suitable for
consumption by fnmatch(3) with FNM_PATHNAME flag. I.e. a
An example:
--------------------------------------------------------------
- $ cat .git/ignore
+ $ cat .git/info/exclude
# ignore objects and archives, anywhere in the tree.
*.[oa]
$ cat Documentation/.gitignore
!foo.html
$ git-ls-files --ignored \
--exclude='Documentation/*.[0-9]' \
- --exclude-from=.git/ignore \
+ --exclude-from=.git/info/exclude \
--exclude-per-directory=.gitignore
--------------------------------------------------------------
+Another example:
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+ $ cat .gitignore
+ vmlinux*
+ $ ls arch/foo/kernel/vm*
+ arch/foo/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S
+ $ echo '!/vmlinux*' >arch/foo/kernel/.gitignore
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The second .gitignore keeps `arch/foo/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S` file
+from getting ignored.
