Ignore all debug directories except this special one...

[SiberianRobot]

We have a fairly large solution with many debug folders that should be excluded from source control. A simple */debug removes all of them just fine. Unfortunately, we also use boost which has a debug folder that we need. i.e. # include <boost/preprocessor/debug/error.hpp>. Is there a way to remove all directors with a given name with some absolute path exception? 

Thanks

Hi,

An ignore.conf with these two rules should do it:

debug
!boost/preprocessor/debug

That way you would be unignoring that particular folder.

Can you try it and share if it works?

 

Best,

Héber.
