  2. Source code control metadata shouldn't sync by default

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted

    I think any exclusion should be only in .SyncIgnore file,  btsync should not have any built-in exclusion.

    The main reason can be seen on this message thread ... some people want to exclude .git, and other don't.

     

    For me, it is ok to sync the .git , especially in "read-only" mode .. as a backup.

    I would not try to really "sync" .git on 2 machines and using git on the 2 differents machines at the same time ...

     

    I already had trouble with btsync with 3 peers A,B,C.

     

    But I agree that by default, the .git, .svn, and so on .. should be in .SyncIgnore file by default.

    Then it is up to the user to "un-ignore" them.

     

    Now right now, I would LOVE to know how to ignore any ".git" from any sub folders as user "sts" asked.

     

    I would also like to ignore .git folders. But how can I ignore them in each subfolder? I often have this scenario where I have A/B/C/D/.git and not A/.git.

    I mean */*/*/*/.git is oviously not the best solution as it might be that I create another subfolder E in D.

     

     

    I hope we don't have to put a .SyncIgnore in the parent of all the .git folder.

    So if any one can explain how to achieve that, I would really really appreciate.

     

    Something that work on first sync import, but also if I add a new .git later.

  3. Should I SyncIgnore .git directories?

    I am wondering, how do you exclude/ignore all ".git" folders in any of the subfolders?

     

    I have trouble with this functionality, I tried many time, and this works when btsync first index the folder (initial import), but ... if I add a new .git folder at some point, it will not ignore it.

     

    Any idea if this is a known issue, or if I am not using .SyncIgnore correctly

    In my case, let's say I want to ignore all "foobar" folders, I tried with the following .SyncIgnore content

     

    foobar
    *foobar*
    */foobar*/*
    *\foobar*\*
     

     

    Any help is welcome
