Posted by Viresh Kumar 1 year, 7 months ago

Add *.patch entry to .gitignore file to stop showing git generated
patches in commands like 'git status'.

NAK.

We have some files named *.patch in our tree (e.g. stubdom/polarssl.patch).

Agreed, and some future usecases wanting to add new patches
(livepatch-build-tools and livepatching testing).

Viresh: If you want to hide patches, you can add it to your local
.git/info/exclude file, but it is better to get into the habit of
maintaining a clean working tree.

Ahh, I missed that :(

Will it be acceptable to have something like this then to just ignore the
patches ?

[0-9]*-*.patch
