If so, then\nperhaps s/includ/include/ would help?\n\nWith that change, your example works for me.\n\n> Like I said, I've set this up before, and had it working.

We'll\nrun realpath() on the repository directory before matching, so your\npattern needs to take that into account.\n\n> Is there a debug command which can show if the gitdir is/isn't\n> matching like I thought it should?

You'd have to run it\nunder gdb (break on the include_by_gitdir function).\n\n-Peff\n"},{"id":"468926","messageId":"Y5eVsb8rIH9TFgIj@coredump.intra.peff.net","threadId":"58938","inReplyTo":"Y5eVTrK2CO0h5BPl@coredump.intra.peff.net","subject":"Re: includeIf appears to not be working","fromName":"Jeff King","fromEmail":"peff@peff.net","sentAt":"2022-12-12T20:57:21Z","receivedAt":"2022-12-12T20:58:42Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"peff@peff.net","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/45925?v=4"},"body":"On Mon, Dec 12, 2022 at 03:55:42PM -0500, Jeff King wrote:\n\n> > Is there a debug command which can show if the gitdir is/isn't\n> > matching like I thought it should?

I think that would do the same\nnormalization of the path (including resolving symlinks). So that would\ntell you what Git should be matching against.\n\n-Peff\n"},{"id":"468929","messageId":"5349174.mvXUDI8C0e@hosanna","threadId":"58938","inReplyTo":"CAPig+cRv02F2yw3Ej1_7PKUV5stKcff82GtdUe5X3wnPfDhfmw@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: includeIf appears to not be working","fromName":"Joshua J.
