So I added \n\nfigures/ export-ignore \n\nto the top level .gitattributes file.\n\nbut then:\n\n$  git check-attr -a fr/figures\n$  git check-attr -a figures\n$\n\nIf I change the line in .gitattributes to :\n\nfigures export-ignore\n\nI get the correct result, but I am not sure to exclude only directories.\n\nAm I wrong somewhere?\n\nThank you.\n\nJean-Noël AVILA\n"}]}
