Git Ignore Exception bug

it ignore doesn't seem to be working properly when adding exceptions.

Environment:

Mac, running latest El Capitan (10.11.6)

% git --version git version 2.9.0

-----------cut here------------- #!/bin/sh TEMP=mktemp

# Create a temporary repo mkdir repo cd repo

git init

echo "foo/*" >> .gitignore echo "!foo/bar" >> .gitignore git add .gitignore git commit -m "Ignore file with exceptions"

# Create the directory structure mkdir foo mkdir foo/bar

# Create files to be ignored touch foo/1 touch foo/2

# Create files that should be identified touch foo/bar/a touch foo/bar/b

# Should ignore foo and indicate that all the files in foo/bar are un-committed git status

# Move back to the regular directory cd .. -----------cut here-------------

Expected results
% git st
On branch master
Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        foo/bar/
