Re: [ptp-user] (no subject)

[Roland Schulz <roland@xxxxxxx>]

You are right, I forgot the users of other VCs. But isn't there a bias towards git anyway as PTP synchronization is using git under the cover ?

We try not to have any bias in that regard.

I didn't test though (lacking empty directories) whether adding '.gitignore' to .gitignore has some adverse effects on the original purpose of these files. Means, these files were added to force git to replicate an empty directory. Now I am telling git to ignore these files...

The git used for synchronization  ignores the content of .gitignore. So you shouldn't be able to affect the sync with what you put in those files. We made the sync ignore rules independent of the git VC ignore rules, so that if you want to sync files which you don't want to have in VC you can. (the sync ignore rules are stored in .ptp-sync/info/exclude).

But adding these files (.gitignore or .ignore_me) only to empty directories would already alleviate the above discussion for most users. So I would opt for a higher priority for this feature - and it applies to all VCs.

OK. I created a bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=412716 so we don't forget.
