*Re: Why does git track directory listed in .gitignore/".git/info/exclude"?

I am afraid that it is _you_ who doesn't understand.
We both know that a pattern "foo" in the ignore list matches directory "foo/" and everything under it. We also both know that such a pattern also matches a regular file or a symbolic link "foo", too.
I already said that it would make sense to make a pattern in the ignore list "foo/" to match directory "foo/" and everything under it, in addition to the above. Currently it doesn't. We agreed that it might be a good idea to allow it as well.
My point was that a naive implementation to make "foo/" match directory "foo/" by pretending as if the user said "foo" is not good, because it would also make such a user-supplied pattern "foo/" to match a regular file "foo".
In other words, you would need to do something like the attached patch, if you wanted to solve this correctly.
Note that this is not tested heavily. It just looks obvious enough, but (1) testing is for wimps, (2) I do not care deeply about having to say "foo" instead of "foo/", and (3) we are in pre-release freeze to fix obvious bugs and regressions.
Wimps ^W People who care deeply enough can apply this to their trees, use it for a week or so to make sure it does not break other things, and then send the patch back with Tested-by: if everything works out Ok ;-).
I also strongly suspect that we would need a similar change to gitattributes side (attr.c) for consistency, but I haven't looked at it.
-- >8 -- [PATCH] Allow "foo/" in ignore list to match directory "foo"
A naive implementation that pretends the user said "foo" would not work well as it would make "foo/" match a non directory "foo" as well. This passes down the type of path being checked to excluded() function to make sure that "foo/" matches directory "foo/" and not regular file "foo".
A downside is that recursive directory walk may need to run lstat(2) more often on systems whose "struct dirent" does not give the type of the entry; earlier it did not have to for an excluded path, but we now need to figure out if a path is a directory before deciding to exclude it.
