Hi Collin, > Can you apply this patch for me?
Thanks, applied, with a tweak: I don't like the variable name 'group' here. I know that 'tuple' is not possible either. But a couple of lines below we call it a 'row', and that fits better (imagining the ignorelist as a matrix). > Then I am not convinced the check if we need to back up is correct at > the moment: > > if test -s "$tmp"/ignore-added || test -s "$tmp"/ignore-removed; > > turns into: > > if srcdata != destdata: You're right: When ignore-added is empty and ignore-removed is non-empty, it can happen that the .gitignore file won't change, thus gnulib-tool.sh will advertise a file change and create a backup file when there is no need. I'll look into fixing that. Bruno
