Description Mattias Ellert 2010-08-29 23:57:51 UTC

Description of problem:
When I ran fedpkg import the updated .gitignore is incorrect

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fedora-packager-0.5.1.2-2.fc12.noarch

The old source file was not removed from the .gitignore file, and the new source file was added with an extra slash in front of its name.
  
Actual results:
$ cat .gitignore
root-5.26.00c.tar.gz
/root-5.26.00d.tar.gz

Expected results:
$ cat .gitignore
root-5.26.00d.tar.gz

These are both by design.

Removing items from a config file that is likely to be edited outside the program is a risky business, one that I am not willing to get into right now.  Therefor we leave it in place.

Also the leading slash is part of gitignore syntax.  It says to ignore the file in the top level repo directory, but should the file show up in any lower directory do not ignore it.  This was an RFE from a user, but it came after the initial conversion and launch of fedpkg.
