git status shows a file that I have listed explicitly in my .gitignore file
- by metaperl
I have the following line in my .gitignore file:
var/www/docs/.backroom/billing_info/inv.pl
but when I type 'git status' I am told the following:
# modified: var/www/docs/.backroom/billing_info/inv.pl
I dont understand how a file which is explicitly listed as an ignore pattern could be listed as modified when I want git to ignore it.
There are no lines starting with a ! in my .gitignore file
Here is my entire .gitignore file for reference: http://pastebin.com/Jw445Qd7
