git-gui ignores core.excludesFile

Lars Noschinski· Jul 23, 2007, 15:07 UTC · lore

Hello!

It seems git-gui (0.7.5 from git 1.5.2.4 tarball) ignores the global ignore file configured with the core.excludesfile option. My ~/.gitconfig contains

[core] excludesFile = /home/noschinski/.gitignore

which is honoured by git-status but not by git-gui.

Greetings,
    Lars.

Whoops.  Thanks.  git-gui 0.8.0 will include the following patch:

Subject: [PATCH] git-gui: Honor core.excludesfile when listing extra files

Recent git versions have a git-status that honors the core.excludesfile configuration option when it reports on untracked files. Unfortunately I missed the introduction of this configuration option in the core porcelain implementation, so it was not reflected here in git-gui.

Found and reported by Lars Noschinski <lars@public.noschinski.de>.
