Hi.
Passing to git clean wrong (non-existent) paths together with valid ones, causes it to delete stuff that it shouldn't. Am I right? Script to reproduce:
mkdir test cd test git init . mkdir ba mkdir ba/ca
# So far so good. # Should clean directory "ba/ca" git clean -dn -- ba/ca
# Should clean "ba/ca" and ignore non-existent "j" # Instead, it wants to delete "ba" totally. git clean -dn -- ba/ca j
git --version
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Output:
+ mkdir test + cd test + git init . Initialized empty Git repository in /home/notroot/test/.git/ + mkdir ba + mkdir ba/ca + git clean -dn -- ba/ca Would remove ba/ca/ + git clean -dn -- ba/ca j Would remove ba/ + git --version git version 1.7.9.5
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Tested on linux (version 1.7.9.5) and cygwin (1.7.9)
