Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] build: fix gitignore sorting

Make it so we don't have to 'git add -f' particular files like po/POTFILES.in all the time (tested by fixing one of our special-case files as part of the patch). * .gnulib: Update to latest. * bootstrap: Resync from coreutils. * .gitignore: Sort whitelist entries correctly, including ignoring files rather than directories. * m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4: Convert tabs to space. --- * .gnulib dec3475...f796520 (7): > bootstrap: compute gnulib_extra_files after updating build_aux > bootstrap: preserve git whitelist item sorting > maint.mk: Don't trigger sc_space_tab check. > areadlink, areadlinkat: rewrite in terms of careadlinkat > autoupdate > wmemchr, wcschr, wcsrchr, wcspbrk, wcsstr: Avoid errors in C++ mode. > wcpcpy, wcpncpy: Ensure declaration on glibc>= 2.13 systems. I'm also trying to patch 'man gitignore' with things I've learned from this exercise: http://marc.info/?t=130203248100003&r=1&w=2 .gitignore | 12 +++++----- .gnulib | 2 +- bootstrap | 46 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------- m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 | 8 +++--- 4 files changed, 42 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-)
