Hi,
I start with a scenario:
contents of working copy:
/somefile1 /test/dir1 (directory) /test/dir2 (link to directory) /test/dir3 (link to directory) /test/file1
I want to ignore all subfolders in "test", thus I modified my .gitignore to:
/test/*/
> git status
Untracked files: test/dir2 test/dir3
Putting "/test/dir3" into .gitignore will work fine.
-> It seems that directories are not ignored by a wildcard pattern if the directory is a link using: 2.25.1 on Linux
