Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.3.1 (Build 201306052037) Operating System = Linux version 3.2.0-53-generic-pae running on i386 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_25 Runtime = OpenJDK Client VM 23.7-b01 1) I have git repo with structure: . ├── /boo ├── old_file └── /some_dir └── some_file 2) Commit all of it 3) Add sumbolic link: . ├── /boo │ └── some_link -> ../some_dir/ ├── old_file └── /some_dir └── some_file 4) And now: $ git status # On branch master # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # boo/ nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) But NetBeans -> Git -> Show Changes: some_file -/Added boo/some_link/some_file That's lie. NetBeans say that even if I add "some_link" to ignored folders I expect that: NB: Git -> Show Changes == $ git status
fix: http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/a8f40da2e831
This bug may still be present in NetBeans 8.0: specifically the final bit where the output of "Git -> Show Changes" does not match was "git status" shows me from the commandline. In my case I was importing from an existing Makefile project. I have a couple of symbolic links to other libraries. I keep the symbol links in git, but none of the files inside them. I also just tried explicit .gitignore entries to ignore anything under the two directories in question. I started over, re-creating the project. But it still wants to add all the files under them.
