Re: [ptp-dev] git help

Git doesn't track directories but only files. "git add -f" also adds ignored files. Adding a directory causes git to add all files recursively in that directory. Combining that with "-f" means you added recursively all files - even those which would normally be ignored. Files can be ignored in git by:

- .gitignore in the directory

- . gitignore in a parent directory

-  .git/info/exclude

-  config: core.excludesfile

If the "-f" made a difference, one of the 4 thing must have applied to some of the files in that folder.

Not to worry. It turns out for some reason I had to do a 'git add -f src' to get git to recognize the directory. Go figure.
