Running bootstrap updates .gitignore to sort it. However, it sorts lines with ! first, even though they should be last to be effective. For example, on libvirt, we have:
/po/ !/po/POTFILES.in to quickly ignore all generated files under po, but then whitelist the version-controlled POTFILES.in file also in that directory. I haven't yet looked at how hard it would be to fix this; perhaps it would be sufficient to write a simple sed script in insert_sorted_if_absent() after the initial sort which appends all lines starting with ! into hold space, then dumps hold space after all other lines. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
