(so, also remove untracked files) ? For my Briegel buildsystem (git://pubgit.metux.de/projects/briegel.git/) I need to checkout a really tree (iow: no untracked files may be left in the workdir) from git. ATM I'm removing and recreating the whole directory first, but I hope to get rid of this step. cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2010-08-18 19:51 Subject: Re: checkout w/ removing untracked files Message-ID: <7v39ubaedg.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7v39ubaedg.fsf%40alter.siamese.dyndns.org In-Reply-To: <20100818193154.GA13204@nibiru.local> ``` Enrico Weigelt writes: > For my Briegel buildsystem (git://pubgit.metux.de/projects/briegel.git/) > I need to checkout a really tree (iow: no untracked files may be > left in the workdir) from git.

(1) If you have a correctly working "make reallyclean" to remove build artifacts, you wouldn't even need such an option. (2) Have you tried to read up on "git clean -dfqx"? ``` ## Enrico Weigelt, 2010-08-23 12:12 Subject: Re: checkout w/ removing untracked files Message-ID: <20100823121229.GA12810@nibiru.local> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20100823121229.GA12810%40nibiru.local In-Reply-To: <7v39ubaedg.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> ``` * Junio C Hamano wrote: > Enrico Weigelt writes: > > > For my Briegel buildsystem (git://pubgit.metux.de/projects/briegel.git/) > > I need to checkout a really tree (iow: no untracked files may be > > left in the workdir) from git.

I can't rely on that. Some of the trees aren't even sourcetrees but sysroot images. I need a guaranteed fresh tree w/o any user intervention. > (2) Have you tried to read up on "git clean -dfqx"? Thanks, that should do it :) cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ```
