Re: Gitignore file exceptions are not applied to untarcked files

Hi Junio,

I've tested it with many older versions of git, as well as with the recent v2.7.0 - it seems like this feature has been never working properly.

The script https://gist.github.com/anatolyborodin/9c581b50c584534fff28

#!/bin/sh

set -e

# a # b # c # D/a # D/b # D/c # E/F/a # E/F/b # E/F/c

mkdir -p D E/F touch a b c D/a D/b D/c E/F/a E/F/b E/F/c

echo && echo '.gitignore' && echo '----------' echo '*\n!b\n!D/b\n!/D/b\n!/E/*/b' > .gitignore cat .gitignore

echo && echo 'With `--ignored`' && echo '----------' git status --ignored

echo && echo 'Without `--ignored`' && echo '----------' git status

The output:

.gitignore ---------- * !b /D/b !/D/b !/E/*/b

With `--ignored`
----------
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        b

Ignored files:
  (use "git add -f <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        .gitignore
        D/
        E/
        a
        c

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

Without `--ignored`
----------
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        b

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

All files in the subdirectories are ignored, no matter what.
