Do not respect .gitignore content

[rleon]

Hi,

Thanks for the project, it works like a charm over large code repository (~3G).

I wonder how can I disable all ",gitignore" files (main one and in subfolders) and sync all files?

Thanks

Hey there,

Extra includes and excludes patterns can be passed when starting the client, and follow the .gitignore format, e.g.:

It’s always worked for me to just use a wildcard...

-i ‘*’

The wildcard is great, I'm trying it now.

Thanks

@rleon hey, thanks, glad it's working well for you.

Whew. :-)

I don't have a flag for that currently, just the -i / --includes to override specific lines from .gitignore files. I think a --sync-all or something like that would make sense.

Any interest in adding it? I'm not super-actively working on mirror but could probably add it at some point.

I don't know Java at all if you need my help with the linux kernel, I'm at your disposal :).

Regarding override, it is a little bit problematic, that file includes a lot of lines and there are .gitignore files in subfolders too.

Hehe, sure; this should be pretty easy, I'll try to find some time this weekend.

I tried @ianvkoeppe suggestion and it worked perfectly.

Thanks a lot.

Ah nice! I completely missed his comment go by. Thanks Ian! I'll go ahead and add a readme entry about this.
